  It's a DIP resistor pack, near the middle connector.  It's
yellowish-orange in color, not standard black chip epoxy.  I believe
it's a 16-pinner but I'm not sure.

  I've found those boards to be very forgiving...Several years ago,
when I didn't have much of a choice, I had a board which would light
up the CE light shortly after boot, and it'd stay on until the next
reboot when the flip-flop got reset.  It ran that way for almost three
years with nary an ill-effect.
