Hi Rich,

Yes, it's repairable by replacing the flash chip, or reprogramming it. If you have a 39VF040 with a monitor it is possible to copy the monitor from one chip to the other without a separate programmer.

It has been a while since I looked at this stuff, but if memory serves there is a way to read the checksum of bank0, but maybe it requires a good monitor.

I have one stashed in a safe place ... If I can find it, I can mail it to you. I owe someone for this as it was supplied to me by Jimmy, W7CQ to replace mine when I screwed it up.
