|I called my dealer.  I called several dealers.  Every one of them said that 
|Apple would NOT supply a replacement chip.  The ONLY way they could fix the 
|problem was a new motherboard!  $250 for parts and labor! 
| 
|So I got the number for Shreve Systems in Louisiana and ordered a new Ensoniq 
|chip.  For about $55.00 total they Federal Expressed me the chip. I put it in 
|this morning, and the machine works just fine now. 
| 
|This goes beyond just DUMB.  It's highway robbery on Apple's part. I still 
|can't believe it. 

 	Believe it.  The same thing happened to me -- the 65C02 in my
	//c died.  Mr. AuthorizedAppleDealerIdiot said that I needed
	a new motherboard (something like $150).  Upon further interrogation,
	I learned that the CPU was bad.  Picked one up for $7.95 at an 
	electronics store and it worked fine.  Then I politely told the
	dealer to go f__k himself.
