Jeff,
Just how far does the boot process get? It sounds like you're past the
initial hardware check and into the execution of s/startup-sequence.
Does the same symptom occur if you boot from DF0? Perhaps you have a
corrupted executable file on the hard disk. I don't have a memory map
in order to say where location 00C01570 is, but if it's in the A590
expansion RAM, it would certainly be worth your while to boot/run the
A590 RAM test program.

I don't think the boot got that far. The same symptom occurs
irregardless of the boot device (i.e., HD or DF0:). I even tried
booting as a minimum A500 by removing the HD, modem, joystick, external
floppy and the same symptom appeared.

| My understanding is that $c00000 memory is the 512K expansion memory
located in the underside of the A500. Try reseating or removing the
"trap door memory module" and rebooting.

| I brought the machine into Omnitek and they fixed the problem by
simply reseating the IC's.
