I'm not sure whether it is a counter, or just what it is. I'd like to tear one apart and see. It might be something like one of the Dallas Semiconductor e2rom parts. In any case, it probably causes a contact to short together, or else breaks a contact. either way, it should be possible to jumper around it. One would have to sacrifice a spent drum unit, and take some time, but I am certain it can be done. I'd take a crack at it if I had a drum. I hate companies trying to impose limits on people. Especially if it is just to generate revenue. Cheers Woody
