Hi There may well be multiple EEROM’s in the 53181 and 5313x counters. At least when I have blown up the EEPROM in them, it comes back with a error. I haven’t blown any up since the early 1980’s so I don’t quite remember the exact error message involved. Had it simply failed silently, I would have never noticed the problem.
