Look at the 2.05 chip. Look at the 3.1 chip which didn't work. You should see a jumper wire on one and not the other... replicate the working one and voila.

Oh and it is 40.63 for A500 not 40.68!

rev5 and older do need a modification into the socket.
Not if they work with KS2.05 they don't. It would have already been done. Both 2.05 and 3.1 are 512Kbytes.

It's going to be the difference in EPROM chips, one will have had pins remapped the other not etc. or something like that.
