What kind of EPROM programmer are you using?  Is there a way to force it
to the 68766 part type?  I have an old MCT thing, and in the DOS
software that runs it, I can select the part type.  I believe some of
the address lines are different between the 68766 and the 27xx --
probably just the high bit.  So the first part of the data may appear
correct, but the upper memory locations may not be read at all.  That
would probably be the upper 4K of an 8K chip.  I think the 27xx-series
chips end at 4K in the 24-pin package.
