Unfortunately, EPROM data are not designed to last for 20 years. It's
amazing to have lasted so long already. My first bet is the EPROM
losing contents. Unless you have a copy of the data somewhere, forget
it.


Reducing the supply voltage a bit (was it? or increasing?) might still
recover the data.

Yes.


....also had good experience with carefully cooling
the EPROMS during readout...
