Nice find though hope this thread will turn out to help many people with these devices!Recently picked up a Techstep on ebay.. following this thread with interest as it only came with 3 carts.
Definitely remove the 9V battery it will corrode its way down the wires. Nice cartridges to be included in yours. As far as displays go I believe it should’nt be too hard to find a replacement, send some pics here of the front and back of the screen and I might be able to help.I will need to buy some "newer" machines to use it on.. only have a Plus and a 512Ke currently..
The carts mine came with are:
* CPU Tests Vol 3, v 1.0
* CPU Tests Vol 1, v 1.1.1
* SCSI HD Tests, v 1.0
The display on mine is very dim - I'm hoping I can replace it with a more recent 1604 display..
Just FYI: there's a second support folder. Not sure how common it is. It has some copies of some commercial database software. The database software itself is nothing special. Double Helix and Dimension something-or-another, I think, plus literature on how to use it. I would imagine it was used for tracking warranty repairs. Probably connected to a now-dead Apple database. They do come in some nifty plastic floppy holder inserts that fit perfectly in the TechStep envelope/folder thingy.here is everything except for CPU Tests Vol.4 I have also provided the labels for the TechStep floppies.
I would love the images, gotta add to the nostalgia!Just FYI: there's a second support folder. Not sure how common it is. It has some copies of some commercial database software.

I can still make images and labels if anyone wants them. If nothing other than for completeness.
go ahead and upload them if you don't mindJust FYI: there's a second support folder. Not sure how common it is. It has some copies of some commercial database software.

Hey upload away I’m currently putting the rom 4 board together and hopefully it works.Oh, nuts. It's not as special as I thought. Looks to be demo disks and literature for selling the database software. Seems odd that it'd be apart of a TechStep package. Unless it's for selling the software package to Apple Authorized dealers.
I can still upload them if people want demo disks.
I can dump it I’m in North Carolina and would be willing to cover shipping it back and dumping the ROMI have a ROM 4, but no way to dump it. Unless someone is near the South Bay Area who wants to give it a go.
Sweet thanks @elemenoh & @olePigeon@olePigeon I have a reader/programmer and am near you as you know. Will DM you.
so it’s best to put this on the c010? What chip works best for you?Here's the copy I have of Vol. 4. My Windows 98 computer used for EPROMs died so I had to buy a USB to IDE adapter to get to it, but it's likely still intact.
I've tested it on the SST39SF010A so far, but it should work fine on the AT27C010 and MX27C1000, theoretically it should even work on the AT27C020 despite it being 2Mb chip.so it’s best to put this on the c010? What chip works best for you?
