A Macintosh 512K has been passed along to me -- I had a quick look inside for obvious indications of damage, didn't find any (and the Logic Board seemed to be in much better condition than I would have expected). It powers on, but I do get a Sad Mac code -- 016AFF. I think I understand this to indicate that a ROM test failed, so anything after the class code is effectively meaningless -- but additional insight would be welcome.
Assuming that the issue is indeed with one or both of the ROM chips, how difficult is it to obtain replacements?
Otherwise, what should I be on the lookout for in terms of points of failure? (I was told the Floppy Drive may not be working properly, I was planning to clean it and check for broken gears.)
Any advice would be very much appreciated!
