Unfortunately, this machine is rather flakey. I thought that it may have been dodgy RAM, and I was correct. One SIMM was failing the memory tests. I placed the other one in the SPF-100. Until I get my hands on more RAM, it will remain in a state of hibernation. This really saddens me as it had the potential to be a fine little machine. Oh well!
