Hmmm, this sounds a bit like a booter not supporting the box correctly. Try
to get a newer booter, and try it again with it. I could mail you my booter,
i use to boot the 4000/300 every time. I boot from MOP to continue booting
from DSSI then. This only works with QBUS DSSI controllers (KFQSA) at the
moment, but you can connect the internal bus to the controller.

This is true. All my current working changes are in the releases, so i removed
this stuff from my page. The is nothing real current there at the moment.

I would say, you don't have an EZA problem, this looks like a timer problem.
I could mail you my booter, if this doesn't work for you, your machine must
have a defect.
