If Apple made a requirement about dealers not being bozo's, they might look
this up. . . Then again, maybe they did. . .

OK, folk, whip out the pens.  I couldn't scroung up the MMU list yet, but
I'm still looking.  Now, about DuoDisks.  Well, get rid of it and get a real
drive! :-) :-)  Just kidding folks, it's been a long day.


Serial Number:    676-[]101 && 676-[]102 ON THE ANALOG CARD means bad news.

FIX:	remove capacitors c29 and c30 [only on tha above analog cards!]
 Maybe mutter ICL545 at them. . .  It's either the magic code for this or --

Serial Number:	 before 325000 (on the drive itself)

FIX:		well, it's a loose analog board.  Bend the shield a little
		bit, but be careful.  You can take this one to an apple tech
		folkie.  They *should* know how to fool with it.  It's in the
		"Read this and Post" book.

		BTW, InCider was wrong, (i thing november issue), this next
		one isn't free.

There's a new rom for the //c, garbage on the screen only in terminal mode
(i.e. ^AT, not in DCOM or anything).  Proof of error or modem purchase a
must.

Some monitor ]['s have bad cables. . .sn 0000001 - 0291203

The white cord should *not* be in the middle!  Free fix, Authorization code
3BW135.

That's all for now.
