You may be able to get the part from some vendor like ARC, B&R, ... Apple Resource Center "The ARC" (800-753-0114; http://www.thearc.com ) sells Apple II computers and peripherals. B&R Computer Services (619-225-8281; http://members.aol.com/rrbp/Home.html ) sells Apple II computers, peripherals, used II/IIgs games, and other software. Creative Solutions (937-429-5759; http://members.aol.com/CreatSltn/index.html ) Apple II hardware, software, and repairs MC Price Breakers (360-837-3042; http://www.mcpb.com ) sells memory boards, high-speed GS modem cables, and other Apple II hardware Shreve Systems (800-227-3971; http://www.shrevesystems.com ) sells II computers, peripherals, parts and accessories. Software and More (916-725-0228; http://members.aol.com/SWMoreTP/AP.html ) sells Apple II hardware and software. Sun Remarketing (800-821-3221; http://www.sunrem.com accepts on-line orders) sells Apple II parts and peripherals. Wayne's Computer (315-689-7899; http://www.waynes.com/Business/WaynesComputer/default.htm ) sells Apple II computers, peripherals, and software. The designation you mention (8305d) sounds more like a date code. According to the schematics in the IIe Technical Reference Manual, the 'ROM' would be a 2716 PROM (or equivalent ROM) sitting next to the KB encoder IC (a 3600 PRO). Before going to the bother of ordering a new ROM, be sure to try scooching up and resocketting the KB encoder and KB ROM. And, (if in sockets) do the same a couple other IC's, a 74LS245 (IC UB2) and a 74LS374 (IC UD3). It may sound "too easy" to fix computer glitches by just resocketing IC's, pulling and reinserting Slot cards, cleaning connectors, etc.; but, this stuff works so often that it should always be tried before looking for new parts.
