I'm going to bring an Apple ][+ that I messed up somehow by plugging a FujiNet into the Disk-II card one pin off. I think I've narrowed any logic IC issues down to one last chip that is failing in my TL866+ but I'm also worried about the RAM and possibly ROMs. I'm wondering if anyone has a 4164 DRAM tester I could use on Saturday to test the RAM chips & rule them out as a problem? I think the F8 ROM is the minimally required ROM needed to boot - does anyone have an known good F8 ROM that I could test with too?
