Apple //e will not boot--Help

[Barry Davis <bdavis1943@hotmail.com>]

I recently purchased an Apple //e (A2S2064 with an extended 80-column card) 
and I am not able to boot the machine.  I have tried two different 
controller cards (655-0101-B) with two 5.25 apple drives (A9M0107) and a 
duodisk drive (A9M0108) in all different combinations.  I have tried Apple 
Presents, DOS 3.3 System Master, and the ProDOS User's Disk.  Several times 
in booting the DOS 3.3 disk, it partially loaded and then stopped when 
trying to bload "loader.obj0" followed with a I/O Error.  But for the most 
part the drives just spin away with only the Apple //e on the screen.  I 
have cleaned the cards' contacts and tried slot 5 and 7, but to no avail.

I used an Apple II plus and then a //e extensively in the early to middle 
80's, but I have forgotten it all and I am starting at scratch.  Any help 
would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.
