][gs Help Needed!!!

[HOLTG@CTRVAX.VANDERBILT.EDU]

Dear Apple ][ users,

I have an Apple ][gs that is doing some very peculiar things.
It is a ][gs with an 8/16 ZipGSX in slot 2; a HyperStudio sound card; a 
ComputerEyes Video Digitizer in slot 4; an Apple ][ High Speed SCSI card in 
slot 7; a 4 meg RAM card from Quality Computers (Q-RAM GS2); and a 240 meg 
hard drive from Quality Computers (Q-Drive).

The following things are acting up:

1.  The Calculator NDA that comes with System 6.0.1 --- when you try to use 
it, well let's say you did 2+2, your answer would be this outrageous number 
in scientific notation  (very large) --- I have tried replacing the 
calculator, but the newly installed one will do the same exact thing --- 
and yes, I do hit the clear button before I do the next operation...

2.  Let's say I want to put an unformated disk into the 3.5" drive --- the 
finder will notify me that this is not readable and will ask me if I want 
to initialize it --- well, I click "Initialize" and then the whole computer 
locks up and the computer will say the words:  "Alert, Alert!" --- this may 
sound crazy, but it is exactly what happens --- at first I thought I might 
have told the Sound cdev, the Sonics cdev (by Quality Computers), or the 
Sound Extras FinderExtra (from Quality Computers) to make this sound when I 
want to initialize a disk, but there was no sound of the kind anywhere --- 
I don't even think that you could assign a sound to initializing a disk --- 
what's wrong??? :(

3.  Another weird thing that my ][gs (by the way, it's a ROM 3) is doing is 
when I perform the "system test" (open apple, option, control, reset keys), 
it tells me:

System Bad:  020C4000

I have also gotten:

System Bad:  023C4000

Even still I have gotten:

System Bad:  0B030000

*** I seem to get a different number every time I perform the test ---- 
what gives??? :(
***** What do these numbers mean --- is there something wrong with my 
system??? --- everything seems to be working fine except for the problems 
listed above... :(



You will never know how much I would appreciate someone helping me with 
these questions.
