Hi,

I've written up my recent third Apple II repair, this time an Apple IIe.

One interesting aspect of this repair is that piggy-backing a logic chip
helped confirm a faulty one. I'd only ever used this technique with RAM.
I'm sure it only works if the chip has a particular type of fault, but it
worked this time for me.
