The 8048 has the code for a Poly6 in it. You can't replace it unless you get a chip from another poly six.

yes - sure. that makes
the utmost sense. Though maybe trying a 'brand new'
processor might not be a bad idea either - as the old one
was pretty lousy with oxides from the old battery - even
though I cleaned up the pins nicely. I don't imagine any
of the alkali from the battery could have gotten into the
thing sitting up in a socket and all - but I guess weirder
things have happened... I guess i can just use any
contemporary 8048 compatible one? (I dunno- worth a try i
guess - a bit at my wit's end on
this...)
