I picked up a Mac 512 the other day, for what I thought was a good
price, with keyboard, mouse, and a coupla external 400k drives. 

When I got it home, and tried it out, all I got on the screen was
vertical black and white bars. I opened up the case to peek around
inside of it, and saw some kinda retrofit memory boards on it. One
of the boards was an extra memory board that fitted itself over the
onboard memory, and the other board was one that fitted itself over
the ROM lo. This one had the ROM lo, and another ROM chip on it.

Anyways. Can anyone lend me a hand fixing this thing? Id like to 
not spend money on it, considering its age, etc. But I would like
to get it working. I was wondering if anyone has run into a similar
problem, and knew how to fix it. 

Thanx in advance.
