Last of the Apple II stuff in KC

Just got back from cleaning out some of the vintage junk at Surplus
Exchange, Kansas City, MO. Got 4 5.25" Apple II drives, one 3.5", and
three 1541's. One is labeled VIC1540, and I'm wondering if it still has
the original rom that made it incompatible with the C=64. I'm betting
that it probably has been replaced.

The good surplus places are really drying up fast. If it isn't IBM
Pentium or newer, the last trip is to the dumpster. SuperMega bummer .
. . . .

I now have two 1541's with bad head cables (broken in the middle). Do
any of you know how I can check them safely (not using an ohmmeter) so I
could find the break in that wire, and either splice it/replace the
wire, or find a new head assembly??
