HELP with UniDisk 3.5'



	Hi all on the CSA2!

	Recently I acquired a super-used ][c (the fourth now) that came to me with two
Unidisks. It was taken from an office (its user used to smoke while working -
there was a mess of ashes inside the keyboard and the case).
	The good new is that it has the new roms, even if the motherboard is older than
the other I got. The bad news are that the machine is somehow corrupted inside.
	When in 80-col mode it shows some " flickering on the screen, in HGR some
pixels remains lightened and it refuses nine times on ten to load prodos. When I
try to reboot (warm or cold) the machine, with prodos the message is
*relocation/configuration error* and it hangs up, with or without unidisk
connected, even with the 3.5' as boot. The few times it started with diskware
1.1 (you know where can I download a newer version? this doesn't recognize my
][c, he sez it's a ][e...) I have rightly formatted a 3.5' and putted prodos on
it. When I reset it with open-close apple-ctrl-reset it shows the message "RAM
0010000", perhups with some 0 more or less. My other ][c's keep happily joking
with HGR when I do it them.

	Any of you know what this could be? Some memory chip gone?
	Do you know what is the ROM that allows 3.5's use? I think I've recognized it,
it's the only dated 1985, unlike the other dated 1982/83, like my others ][c
have. I've seen that W1 and W2 have been manipulated on the mobo, it's perhups
to allow the ROM to work? Should I change the ROMS? How? 

Sorry for the hundred questions... but it's important, and YOU are the gurus! :)

Another... Dr. Stephen Buggie, if you're listening, can you email me the
instructions? I've lost yours... and I need also more ROMs to upgrade my other
][c! :)

Thanks for all... just for reading 'til here, too.
