Back up the existing data, take some actual measurements on local, constant
level signals, change the EPROM and recheck those signals to see if any
diff. Finish the EPROM with whatever copy works best.
IIRC, the ex2099 software lets the technician do a complete alignment.
Don't remember if special test equipment is required.
