What does it do when it doesn't boot again? I missed that part. I had a
problem that I open the case, jingle some cables and get it to boot
and then when I put the case back on, it quick booting. (Mine displayed
this alternating pattern across the screen). Anyway, I finally figured
it out thanks to some help from the net. By reseating the 68010 cpu,
I have never had this problem again.
