Emulator repair success!

Changing the DRAM worked. Everything is fine now. No more crackle or 
scratchy sounds. The only thing I need to do now is to re-sample the 
sounds I already made since the scratch is in the sample itself. 
Seems that damaged RAM causes noise while sampling. 
I'm very happy now! I think after all the repair I did my EII should 
last at least until 2028 ;).

Btw. anyone from Europe interested in a 3.5 floppy drive?

Cheers
