Bill,
No, I stated earlier. Video ROM chip with MouseText, 6502 CPU, and
unenhanced Apple //e's CD-EF ROM chips are working fine. I do not encounter
any problems with video ROM chip. The problem is that it has to deal with
65C02 CPU. I will try to swap CD-EF ROM chips to be enhanced Apple //e
while 6502 CPU remains. If it is working fine, it may be a problem with
65C02 CPU.
