Hey folks,
I just received a Classic II with the common "thick vertical bar" problem. So far, so good, same procedure as every year. Wash the logic board thoroughly...
Whoops? No Chime, still vertical bars? Okay, let's replace the caps with tantalum ones. What? Still no chime? Grrr!
Then I swapped the ROM with the one of a working Performa 200... ka-ching, it chimes and boots fine?!?
I tested the suspect ROM in the donator Performa 200... No chime, vertical bars.
The frickin' ROMs are dead? I've never seen that one before.
Now, how do I obtain new ROMs? Of course they don't need to be original Apple ROMs, I would be very happy to find pin-compatible EPROM or Flash types and flash them.
Does anybody have an idea what kind of ROMs (pinout?) Apple used and maybe what types could be used to replace them?
My poor Classic II thanks in advance...
