Hi Glyn
 You might try checking to make sure that the clocks
are workking. I've had a number of failures of 8224 chips.
I've also found that a bad RAM card will stop the boot
as well. Try removing all but one RAM card ( if you have
several ) and configure the address for the begining
of RAM memory ( forgot the address ).
 Both ends of memory need to work. The boot code will
set the stack to the end of the memory found and it will
put variable and vectors into the low memory. This means
both the top and bottom memory need to work. Often if
you have several RAM cards, you can find one that is
fuctional.
 It could be the ROM as well but this is rare cmpared
to other problems.
Dwight
