Re: Who can I send my Apple II card to for Repair?

I am almost POSITIVE that it is a ROM problem!  (could be bad RAM too!)

Steve Buggie, or James Noyes, can you make a copy of your ROM for me?

I plugged a Disk II into the card.  It properly Cache's the DATA into RAM, and
I can successfully run Protected/NON protected 5 1/4 disks.

I don't know what type of 3.5 drive the card supports, so I won't plug any
into yet.
