You could send me the board and I'll take a look at it for you.  For some 
reason I fix more of these board then anything.  Odd.  I guess people flip 
the cable and don't realize it.  I should get some Box Headers and always 
replace them when I can.

Oh really?!?  I'd love to get a copy of those ROMs.  If you send them to me 
I would gladly back them up for you.  Need a prepaid postage label?  You 
could also send the RAMFast along with the ROMs.  Just contact me directly 
and let me know your address and the weight of the package and I'll email a 
printable label.
