The problem could be that the extra address line that the 2 Meg eprom has
is not connected anywhere in the device you are plugging it into, or it is
tied off to the wrong voltage rail. If your Programmer programs the lower
half of the chip (High Address line = Logic 0 ) and that pin is tied to
+5v (Logic 1) in the application circuit, then you have exactly what you
describe .... the circuit is trying to run with a blank eprom in it!

You could modify the equipment so that the highest address line is tied to
0v ... but make sure you get it right!
