I finally got around to trying to figure out this old Apple II clone I picked up some years back (it was one of my first vintage purchases and I had no idea what I was doing).
Anyway, it was booting to gibberish on the video out and I read it was likely RAM related. So I removed all the RAM and added just the first bank back. I was able? Through trial and error, to get to where it would boot to a solid white screen.
I also read it could be a CPU issue. So I grabbed the processor from a working IIe platinum and I was able to get further. Now when it boots, I get a full screen full of Apple characters.
I couldn’t find anyone else experiencing this. Is it a ROM issue? Something because it’s a clone? Any guidance would be appreciated!
