*grin*

Well, I soldered in the socket (after soldering out the initial Z80,
and burnt a couple of wires), tried the OLD Z80 first and the result 
was the same. THEN I tried the NEW Z80 (which was sent from Dear Bob)
and it worked.....

How a CPU can be damaged (statically or in any other way) in such a
way that it operates perfectly except a (couple of) command(s), beats
me.
