   According to Apple's official list of errors and their meanings
(ftp://ftp.apple.com/dts/aii/tn/iigs/tn-iigs-095 I'll probably put it
up on my set of Apple II Resources at
http://www.visi.com/~nathan/a2/faq in a day or few), that error can
be translates as:

Self Test 6: Serial Test

AA =    06:
BB =    01:  Register R/W
        04:  Tx Buffer empty status
        05:  Tx Buffer empty failure
        06:  All Sent Status fail
        07:  Rx Char available
        08:  Bad data

   I.e. there's a problem with your serial ports. Try unplugging
anything from them and doing a self test again.
