After searching high and low for a dealer who would sell me the new ROMS and
800k drive and allow me to install them MYSELF (that's right, keep your
hands off my Levco board . . .), and after putting the ROMS in the opposite
sockets (wow, you don't ever want to do that) I finally got the whole thing
running.  A couple of observation/questions.

		First, I have a remington/rand 3000 (?) external 
400K drive which, I always thought, worked better than the old Apple internal
drive.  The only problem is that the damned thing doesn't seem to be
compatible with the new ROMS.  It purrs, but never changes speed and won't
eject.  Of course, it don't read/write neither.  Anybody out there had
similar troubles with 3rd party drives?

		Second, when I tried to print using Best or Faster on my old
Imagewriter minus using the new driver, the printer puts down the bottom
half of a line and then line feeds before overstriking.  I get repeated
lower line halves.  Not legible.  Do I need to diddle the dip switches of
the printer.  Don't make me go back to that manual.  Someone give me the
cowards way out (give me the answer!).
