    I'm having a slight problem with a Prom burner that maybe one of you
has already run across. The problem seems to be a failure when writing
to the Prom. I work almost exclusively with 256K Prom's. What happens is
I can read a Prom but then when I go to write that information onto
a new Prom, it bombs out at address 4000. It always stops at 4000!  I've
tried lots of Proms including some new ones and strange enough a couple
of the new ones worked but a lot of them failed the same way. Someone
mentioned to be that maybe they aren't being erased fully. The status
checker on the Prom burner indicates a blank Prom. Other people have indicated
that its an interrupt conflict on the bus. I *did* try a few smaller Proms
and they all worked fine.  Any ideas ??   Things to check ?  As usual, all
input is appreciated.
