Re: ROM 3 //gs issues



I have had some voodoo issues with early ROM 3 boards.

Way more than once. Way more than my one realm.

The earlier ones look like more goldish/copperish than the deep/shiny
green ones.

They're just flaky. Sometimes removing the bottom FCC shield fixes it,
other times.. they just.. want to be bent in the middle. I've applied
rubber feet under and put them back down on it, etc. They're just
flaky. I think it's a manufacturing problem.

The best ones seem to be the ones that are shiny, bright green masked
with two 28 pin ROM sockets and the worse ones tend to be the ones
with two 32 pin ROM sockets and a dull near copperish/brown look.

Most of those old ones have EPROMs in them too.
