I would like to thank all of you who helped me in making my Apple IIe work again. There are still a few remaining problems but they shouldn't be difficult to solve.

anyway thanks to David, whithout you I wouldn't have been able to even understand anything, thanks to Kevin and thanks to Antoine with your generous help (without your cards and components, I wouldn't have been able to discard some causes), thanks to Geoff who finally found what whas wrong on this motherboard.
