Apple IIc going crazy, bad ROMs ?




Hello,

my attempt to revive an Apple IIc ended in a comatose unit... perhaps someone here may point me in the right direction to fix it.

The machine powers up with the usual Apple //c [...] Check Disk Drive writings but also some "@" appear on the screen here and there. Despite what I throw in the disk drive, the machine always ends up in system monitor.

Breaking into basic prompt is possible but basic commands return weird effects (the commands give the expected result followed by load of garbage characters). I suspect one or more bad ROMs but I can't verify.

I noticed 3 socketed ROMs, 342-0133 CHARGEN (I think it's fine), 342-0284A MAP, and 342-0272 MON. I can burn 2716 EPROMs and up if needed. Any suggestion is greatly appreciated.
