well, it turns out that bit 4 (or 3, if you're counting from zero...) was
indeed bad, as installation of the new ROM with the self-test indicated
("RAM  0  0  0  1  0  0  0  0").
So, after installing a new 4164 (I'm assuming they're supposed to be
interchangable with the 4264s... it's what Alltech sent me), I
accidentally plugged in the power supplybox to the motherboard while the
cord was plugged in and the switch was on.  A bunch of characters started
pooping up on the screen, and it seemedlike the whole system was
melting... it looked really bad.  Now all I getis a funky multi-colored
screen when I turn the thing on.
At this point, I'd just like to thank everyone who provided valuable
technical insight that probably could have allowed me to fix the problem
had I been a little more conscious while performing the operation, like
Nathan and that guy from New Zealand.
If anyone has an apple IIc motherboard they don't need anymore, lemme
know...
Thanks again to everyone,
-Ryan

Apple II Forever!
