Richard:
Thanks for the updates  Glad to hear you got both of them working! You should check out various tools by CSORY. His dedicated 1551 tools get the most out of the drive. I always wondered if they work on NTSC plus/4s.
Btw, those yellow dots are very common on all the socketed chips Most of my machines have them.
Side note:
The auction text said something like "Got these from a deceased relative." and "They look ok." It seems honest, not everyone is able to check everything. It's different if someone sells lots of "checked" items and then lists "untested" ones.
Hans:
Actually, ROMs do get bad sometimes. I experienced some faulty BASIC ROMs myself. (Which was somewhat fortunate because I expected a bad TED or CPU instead  )
