Hi Ethan,
I have been watching the comments on the repair of this 128K board, and was
wondering if you could help.
I also have a 128k mac here, and it is displaying a sad mac with a code
that is suggesting that the ROM has failed a checksum test. Is it
possible for you to image the Roms so I can validate mine?
Thanks.
Doug

... I can
even pull the CPU and socket it so I can stick
my Fluke 9010A on the board and do some serious memory tests...
A suggestion would be to find someone with a Fluke 9100 or 9010 and has 68000 pod. This allows you to do RAM, ROM and I/O
tests from the
perspective
of the CPU.
I already have one, as I mentioned in the original post. The CPU is
not socketed,
which is a fair bit of work to change. I used to make 68000-based devices
(COMBOARD protocol engine for PDP-11/VAX), so I'm quite familiar with how
to use it. If the CPU was socketed, I would have popped the Fluke on there
without a second thought.
Cheers,

P.S. - I also have a 6502 pod. I would love to pick up a Z80 pod (or an
1802 pod!) at a not-outrageous price, but that's uncommon.
