Usually, ROM-D8 and ROM-D0 will be missing. In the two that I have here,
one has both ROMs missing, but one has the D0 ROM. The copyright's on
mine are 1978, so I don't know exactly what that means. I would guess the
originals would have a copyright of 1977, but these are definitely Apple
]['s and not ][+'s.

I'll bet Eric Smith knows this (as well as how to properly identify a
13-sector disk controller...one clue is that it is missing the sticker
that has the Apple logo with a "16" inside, but that isn't a reliable
indicator).
