Thanks guys - the junk I'm getting is a whole heap of trash in the top left corner of the screen (no error codes) so I do really think its cactus but I'll try your suggestions.

Parker,

Of course, if you have gotten thick paperback book of Muller's,
this has whole lot of IBM PS/2 error codes. Or google. The info
will help you to decode errors and act on that info.

PS/2 stuff (not those PS2 (that's playstation 2, they do die easily.
:-P) doesn't simply die easily. I still have couple PS/2 (70-Axx,
P75) that still works.

For example 1701 generally means hard drive problem, so on, it has
several sub errors under that 1700 specific to hard drive system.
Gee, been years since I last cracked that book for reference. :-O

SWAG: There is about 200 or so error codes total for everything
including several types of beeps. Whew.

Cheers,

Wizard
