Im studying hard to find information about the ic and i can find any
information about it;( But after i take a small look into the
service manual of the tr-505 i found a good replacement!Tc531000p!!!
I got the pin out of this chip so we can change by any other popular
eprom on the market.The tr-707 include inside a converter that
change bites into ANALOG. So no worry about that. the only problem
still, what is the language (hex,bin,etc..)
I have to make a copy of
the rom before attempting something And study the language. But if
this is possible, and im quite sure it is, a new life will begin for
the tr series. Will see.Hope my works going to get fruits
