Absolutely.  The 'F08 seems to be on the clock line.  There are no
other digital devices on the board.  There is however, plenty of room
for me to insert a homebrew bus buffer.  But as you say, the bus should
have been buffered.  It runs fine with the 8-Up.  I'm planning to drop
some of my own hardware in the other slot so I can maybe design around
the problem.  Can you say FET? :-)
