Hello.. Some quick questions for those in the know..

Just picked up a spare IIGS off EBay as a backup for the ROM 03 I've
been using for a while - and it turns out the thing is a ROM 00.

I've ordered the ROM 00->ROM 01 upgrade from Reactive Micro, however
does anyone know:

A) How to identify if my board has the faulty VGC chip that came with
many ROM 00's, and
B) Is it still possible to obtain a replacement chip somehow (other
than cannibalizing yet another IIGS?)
Second question: I've got a spare ROM 03 board that's giving a System
Bad: 06010000.  I know this is a failure of the Serial test - is there
a specific part I could check out and try and replace?

Thanks for any info..

Hi Chris,
I cannot help you with your questions but I have a request: can you
please make a ROM dump before you perform the upgrade? I would like to
disassemble the ROM 00 one day.

I thank you in advance.

I have a ROM 0 file I use with KEGS, if it helps, it's in the apple2g0.zip from MESS' BIOS collection.
