Looking for some guidance as someone who was a Mac user as a kid, but not Apple II. I picked up an Apple II a few years back, and didn’t realize until after I bought it that it was actually a clone. When I first got it, I had issues with garbage on the video output and traced it down to what I believed to be memory issues.
I moved some memory around (fortunately every chip on the board is socketed) and got to a solid blank white screen on startup. I then took a known good CPU from a working IIe and put it in the machine and I was able to get to a startup screen that is just a solid block of Apple characters:
Anyone seen anything like this before. I couldn’t find anything like it in my googling.
ROM issues? Something because it’s a clone that will be hard tot track down? More memory issues?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
