Possible silly question.I have been able to find no data on the 40H244,
40H245, 40H373 part numbers. Given their function and pinout I'm guessing
that a 74HC part would be an acceptable substitute?

 

Thanks again,

Jeff

If checking the buffers etc you should see the I0/M line toggle quite
quickly after power on and of course the ALE line.  If it does not then it
is not even starting a proper boot, I feel your processor is OK they are
quite robust and well protected by all the buffers.  

 

I think you mentioned a click on power-on this could be the remote relay
clicking on, it is controlled by M14, this too is a symptom of an improper
boot sequence.  This part also controls access to the ROM, if it does not
initialize correctly the ROM might never be accessed properly.

 

The chip ids look good to start.   You may also want to check continuity to
the ROM and RAM chips just to make sure there are no cracks in the Address
and Data PCB tracks.  The quality of the M100 boards is quite low.
