    The items arrived in a plain padded envelope and the IC's were inserted on a flimsy white foam wrapped in cardboard from a food container. When I installed the chips into the Apple e it failed to boot. Bad CPU chip. After I reported it back to the seller, he suggested that I send back to Switzerland from the US , at my cost, the failed chip for them to inspect and then send me a new at their cost. The chip is most certainly damaged by poor and incorrect packaging. Not recommended at all

    We ship with a cardboard that allows to the post service to not compress the parcel and break the pins, we receive 23 USD from Ebay, 12 are for shipping and 11 are for 3 x EPROM + 1 x WDC CPU (at 10Mhz !)... We proposed the customer to send us back the CPU that was FULLY WORKING to replace after our investigation of the fault, he refused as it's too difficult to go to the post office and too expensive (2 USD)... We proposed buyer to send all the kit back, he refused... Stay away from that BUYER

    The upgrade works, thanks! The ROM-s are not the same as on the photo: Instead of the original ROM-s with 'Apple' text etc., I received generic EEPROMs with hand written text on it. Also, I haven't received item Z030-1191 Enhancement Keyboard Sticker. This item is on the package list on the photo.

    On description we give the list of what is shipped (4 chips), you are last one receiving CPU, we now only ship the EPROMs, due to the bad faith of a buyer who claimed CPU was fried, then when Ebay refunded taking funds from us he even told us the chip was OK (but perhaps the pins were not correct, so not fried, CPU chip is 1:1 pin compatible)... You got 4 chips (with CPU), now we ship only 3 ROM chips. Original kit is 150+USD & is collector... We receive 11 USD + shipping cost 12 USD = 23 USD.

    We are happy buyers appreciate we do this at cost, and to help them... as there is some freelunch buyers who want all free... so we had to increase by 10 USD the cost to prevent such behavior (have some $ in such cases to face such claims).

    ROMs arrived and worked perfectly! Didn’t notice they were coming from France when I ordered though.

    It took weeks to arrive. The ICs had some bent pins. The worst was one firmware ROM, which when attempting to bend back a pin broke. I was able to solder on a salvaged pin from a spare IC. After resolving the bent pins everything installed and is working fine.

Best book about Pay-Tv Hackers world
This book reads like a spy novel, but the combatants work for private corporations, not states. There are no innocent parties, only winners and losers, in a world where law is seen as a tool and business ethics are for wimps. And because it is true, the story raises serious questions over the ability of national governments to provide a business environment in which rule of law can be taken seriously. The competition is for control of a small item costing $2 - the credit card-size smart cards that give access to satellite pay TV. The security of those cards is the key to billions of dollars in pay TV revenues. Since the inception of pay television, independent hackers and organised pirate rings have repeatedly broken the codes to provide unauthorised access via a black market in forged smart cards. Naturally, investors in pay TV have fought back to defend their revenues. News Corporation, planning a global satellite-television empire, acquired its own card security development company - News Datacom (later NDS). It was based in Israel and employed mainly former Israeli military and intelligence operatives. Its first chief executive turned out to be a convicted American swindler on the run from US authorities, but the staff were expert in their fields. Their primary task was to develop the DataCrypt system for New Corporation's pay TV systems. But as Chenoweth writes, NDS also ran intelligence operations against pirate card makers and against New Corporation's competitors. They infiltrated the internet chatrooms where hackers would boast about their achievements, developed contacts and recruited agents. They employed former police detectives and intelligence operatives for many nationalities, including a former head of Scotland Yard's criminal intelligence bureau. These agents used their contacts with state agencies, bugged phones, burgled homes, set traps and employed every device familiar to readers of crime fiction - with apparent disdain for the law. As in the high times of maritime piracy, one man's pirate would be another man's privateer. In this shady world, hackers and agents were often on police watch lists of one kind or another, so they were flown around the world with false passports. The senior NDS officer responsible for undercover operations in Australia and East Asia was the wife of an Israeli diplomat, based in Taiwan. Her job was to protect the interests of News Corporation. Whenever someone was caught out or things got sticky, the massive political, legal and public relations resources of News Corporation could usually protect them. If an operation was exposed too blatantly, agents would be jettisoned and denied. In one case, Chenoweth writes that News pretended to be suing a hacker who was, in fact, on their own payroll. The most creative hackers were often difficult individuals. One seems to have been murdered, KGB-style, in a Berlin park, after eastern European gangsters concluded he was a threat to their lucrative piracy business. Another on the NDS payroll was arrested in a Bulgarian bar after shooting another man in a drunken rage. By Chenoweth's account, this activity went well beyond defending a legitimate business against criminal attack. News Corporation was accused of using its smart card ''security'' operations to damage its competitors. News wanted its NDS card system to be the standard everywhere, but there were several European and American competitors in the smart card business.
