I have come into posession of an old 128K that has evidently fried one of its ROM's. I would like to resurrect it for several reasons. I have a few questions, if anyone knows the answers, and wouldn't mind taking a few minutes to answer them. thanks! 1. Would it make more sense to replace the board than the ROM chip? (I would assume so. Even if not, where would I find a replacement ROM? suggestions?) 2. If I replace the board, can I and should I try to upgrade to a plus or SE? Are there packaging differences or power supply considerations? Can anyone suggest a good source of old mac boards? Can anyone recommend a technical reference manual? 3. Would it make more sense to toss the dinosaur altogether and buy a functional used SE? (i.e. ignoring any hobbyist interest or labor, would I actually save any money this way?) Please respond by e-mail, and thanks in advance. Andy Lowe andy@nth.com
