Why after pressing CTRL+RESET and then doing "CALL-151" the Applesoft
prompt gives me "?OUT OF MEMORY ERROR" ? I think even the "CALL-151"
is irrelevant, any other command produces same message (hmm, maybe
even an empty line).

Even though CALL -151 is considered a monitor command, remember that
DOS intercepts all commands before passing them on to applesoft, DOS
will still try to push some return pointers on the stack before
executing the command, but if the stack is full, because a reset is
not initializing the SP properly, any command will cause an "Out of
Memory error"

May I offer a simple please check that all of the ram chips, cards, etc...., are properly seated, and connections are clean. This would be the first thing I would check, especially if I haven't run this particular machine for some time.
