these sequences of blinking have meaning. you will have google for the
chart (find the ultra 60 service manual). also, try connecting a terminal
to tta, power-off, hold stop-D and power-on (as you did for stop-N). you
should get diag POST output on ttya; seems like it might be repeatedly
resetting itself.
