   Have you tried the //e's self test? [Hold down control, open apple,
closed apple, and reset, and watch the patterns until it reports
something?] Enhanced //es will report problems with their ram, which
would not be a surprise

   Question: do you have other disks with ProDOS on it that you can
try booting? That will fairly quickly determine if your copy of ProDOS
has gone bad on disk, or it's a more system-wide problem.
