IIgs self-test results
I've run a IIgs through a self-test by powering it own with
Ctrl+Option+Apple. The IIgs is a ROM 01 system with 128K on-board and (for
the sake of testing) no expansion memory or cards of any kind - oh, but
there IS a 3.5 Floppy on the floppy port. At first, it displays
01000000
which, for lack of any other coincidences, I am taking to be the ROM
version followed by unknown, zeroed, data.
The system then cycles through a long memory test and terminates, sadly,
with this display beginning in the upper-left corner of the
40-column-screen:
06010000
06010000
06010000
.. and in the bottom line of the screen:
System bad: 06010000
And, of course, the speaker emits a piercing bell that must last two or
three seconds.
So, does anyone know how to read the final code? Is it pointing me at a
bad port? Bad DRAM on the motherboard? (I recall the original Apple ][
memory diagnostic that named exactly which chip had failed..) I'm very
interested in repairing it, if the failure code leads me to a point of
failure.
Again, thanks for the information.
