Re: X22C12P (again)

Clay,

Is the symptom for this chip being faulty the game's inability to remember
configuration settings?

Mine won't accept DIP switch settings, but will happily take configuration
changes from the front service panel. After a few days of inactivity
(usually - sometimes it forgets immediately) the setting revert back to a
configuration that doesn't match the DIP switch settings.

No big deal, just time consuming.

If this has been explained recently, I apologize. : )
