At this point, JDR is about the only source that handles a wide variety of eproms. Digi-key stopped handling eproms; which is a shame, as I really enjoyed doing business with them because they have a Canadian shipping office.
Your eprom should be a 27C128. I believe that they are a 16K chip, not a 32K chip.

Computers use base 16 as opposed to base 10 that "humans" use. There are 4,096 bytes to each hex 1,000. The 27C128 has x'4000 bytes of addressability, or 16,384 bytes in base 10. Hence we call it 16K.

Actually, computers use binary or base 2. Computer people just group 8 bits to a byte and quote everything in hex (or base 16). Just wanted to clarify that point.

I take it that all the tpi's use the 16K
