I wonder where Bob got his list from... I do have a few 6100's to recap and fix soon, so maybe I'll put together some kind of doc that explains the upgrade kit in a way people don't have to think about what they are doing (nothing personal Walt :) )

I'm guessing that its unable to read the vector information out of the roms for the text. Does anyone know where in ROM the text is stored? If I remember correctly, you said that you were able to test the ROMs themselves, so maybe the sockets are flaky or something? Or maybe there is still a stuck bit, but I'm not sure where to look.
