     As Supertimer said, the presence of an accelerator card-- at least, a
ZipGS-- may lead to failure of diagnostic test 05. This is the "Speed Test"
which tests being able to switch speed. (The "01" in the error code = "stuck
slow".)

     If DIP Switch 1-4 (Counter Delay) on a ZipGS is set OFF (the normal,
default setting), your GS will bomb on this test. This does not indicate a
hardware malfunction.
