FYI Recent dead //e's problem _was_ Zip Chip

[sean@macassist.com.au (Sean McNamara)]

Hi all,

Just to update on the problem I was having recently with a //e not booting
(gibberish on screen, no beep) - as was suggested by a couple of posters,
the Zip Chip in the machine was a dud. I got a R65c02p2 today and plonked
it in and the machine is running beautifully.

Thanks to all for suggestions on the cause, and on potential suppliers
(the chap selling 21 65c02-compatibles on ebay was my eventual source at
AU$10/US$5).

Thanks again

Sean
