   This error message is contained in the comp.sys.apple2 Frequently
Asked Questions (FAQ) post, which was posted here on the first of the
month. Your local news server _should_ still have a copy, as the posting
was configured to expire in a month. If it is not available, please
contact your local news admin to help fix your feed. If you skipped
over unread articles such as the FAQ before posting (a very bad habit),
you can read it on the WWW at
http://www.visi.com/~nathan/a2/faq/csa2.html

   From question #58 of the FAQ, 0911 translates to "your GS is
overheating or your ADB (Apple Desktop Bus, used for keyboard, mouse)
port is having problems." The self diag test should be reporting
similar flakiness.
