     This sounds like a diagnostic report for failure on the RAM test in Bank
$E0.

     If you have an Expansion Mamory card plugged in (in the special Slot
near the right front), try removing it (with power OFF) and restarting your
IIgs. The card may have messed up decoding and be conflicting with on-board
RAM; or, the card may have one or more poorly socketed chips.

     If you get the error with no memory cards plugged into your GS, the
problem may be a poorly socketed RAM chip (or other IC) on the motherboard. 
     Scootching up and resocketing IC's (again, with power OFF) often helps
reestablish good contact and cures problems.
