On my first Apple ][ minus (as opposed to a "plus"), the ram chips were
in sockets. So, you carefully leveraged them out, used an ink eraser
carefully on the pins to remove the oxide and shoved then back in,
firmly home. That always worked. I loved it that the lid easily removed
without a tool. Jobs blew it all later, for sure. <spits> Ric
