No, it never gets to that point. To me its analogous to an i386 machine's
BIOS boot routine: 1st you see the video card BIOS info, keyboard check,
memory check, etc. Its seems stuck just prior to the 1 meg default memory
check. Perhaps I'll try swapping out the BIOS chip with another working
unit to see if that is the culprit.
