That is the correct PROM. Mine is a 74287.........But how do I program the 
prom?..........Also, I don't need 25 of them.....maybe 3.
Thanks for the info.......Now that I know where the PROM is in the CWID board 
and the part number maybe I can find someone to program it for me.

THANKS!

Tim

The original prom is probably a 74287 and they easy enough to 
find... still. There's a guy on Ebay selling tubes of them for 
just over $2 each, which is a great deal. 

LOTof 25 - MH74S287 - TESLA 74S287 - 74287 - ic -NEW
Ebay Item number: 290104898405 

I bought a few tubes from him and both he and they are the 
real deal.

Proms don't seem to be that hard to find.... yet.
