Not necessarily. There could be a problem with the memory circuit
that is preventing pcode_hb.s19 from loading properly.
Tunde, use a multimeter to check all of the connections in the memory
circuit (including the 'hc373 chip). Make sure there are no adjacent
shorts, and that all wires that should be connected are connected.
