Re: Apple IIc going crazy, bad ROMs ?

  Sounds like bad RAM to me....  It's far more common for the RAM to
fail than the ROMs.  There is a built-in RAM test, try resetting it
with CTRL-Open Apple-RESET or CTRL-Closed Apple-RESET.  Or CTRL-both
Apple keys-RESET does it with sound.  It's been far too long, but I
think that's it.

Unfortunately the RAM ICs are soldered to the mainboard so I cannot quick-test them. However, when pressing CTRL+RESET+both apples a routine starts... but I get a blocky screen always changing every 2 seconds while I hear the computer tick. It never ends, although it seems to me that the patterns are periodic. Nothing readable anyway.
