Hi Lee,
I've no problem with using modern replacements; I suspect in most cases
they'd be indistinguishable from the real thing anyway. The main problem
I've got is not being able to diagnose the fault - I may need more test
gear before I can have a proper stab at it. Also, I don't really have a
complete spare set of ROMs; I've been borrowing the ones out of my working
8032...
Cheers!
Ade.
