i just use a tl866. really, a rom reader/programmer is a must-have piece of equipment for this hobby... just like a decent soldering iron and long torx bit is.
if they were corroded, i'm gonna guess that a battery exploded somewhere. might want to beep out all the memory lines according to the schematics.
quadra 700 reloaded when?
??? why feel guilty. he basically scammed you and ebay sided with you.
if he used AI for the listing title, tough luck.
win win, case closed, all's well that ends well.
