The PLA cannot be swapped easily because it has a different pinout. I
need to build an adapter, which I will do when time permits.

I don't really think that swapping EPROMs would help either. The board
behaves in a way that strongly suggests a hardware issue (sometimes it
works to some extent).

Most helpful right now would be the disassembly of the MS-DOS loader, to
see what causes the message "BAD INIT TABLE" to be displayed. i think
that when the cause of this message is known, it will give many useful
hints on why the board doesn't work.

Michau.
