I've seen a lot of intermittent ROM "failures" on the BZ/RB board set.
I've found a lot of bad sockets on those boards. If it reports a ROM as
bad, try reseating it before replacing it. If you do replace one and it
still reports it as bad, DON'T OVERLOOK THE SOCKET!

They're a dime a dozen.

Good luck (you'll need it)!
