Hi, Dave

Gator must be told the numbers to compare to do no use " " ( quotes ) and the "BLANK" value does not exist.

Suppose it' as a re-used chip ... everything ( 0 -255 ! ) possible as a value.

Also Note I have received brand new chips which EEPROM had been tested ( value of the location written for the 0, 8, 16, 24, .... th locations , and Zeroes everywhere )...
