Thanks Bill! The broken SX-64 was a loooong time ago, it wasn't even mine
at that time (now it is! :oD). I don't know what happen, but ROM parts are
more common to fail than EPROMs, this is well known. I don't remember
exactely what happened, but was something around what you related, Screen
comes up with some garbage but no cursor/welcome. 6522 are a pain in the
back in Brazil, I have lots of friends with C64s without a good 6522 :( Oh
my :(

Hi Alex,
Nice site, cool toys!
I don't read Portuguese, but it looks like you +also+ had an SX-64 with a
bad kernal ROM? What's the deal with those, did they use some kind of
inferior part for the SX-64 ROM? It seems like they have a habit of just
going "poof" one day.

What was your symptom - screen comes up, with the correct color & border -
but no cursor or welcome message? That's what mine did. I also had one of
the two 6522 CIAs go out, which made the floppy unable to read discs. I've
heard that's also a common point of failure in the SX-64.
