Darn video rom was faulty. I assumed that these could not be easily located so I found a cheap auction on eBay for another Apple IIe PAL. Lucky, as last night I was testing the new Apple IIe with a midi interface card and suddenly a pop, then a strong smell of burnt electronics. Arrggghh. I could have died. The darn mini interface card shorted something out. I then tried to boot and I have this screen. Arrgghhh!!!


This is the midi interface card. On closer inspection I notice lots of loose solder. I’m hoping some has dropped off in the slot and can be easily removed. He’s me hoping.
