Cool.

I disagree, it looks like it tftp's the boot program just fine.

Well, I don't have the magic decoder ring so I'll hazard a guess:

Hmmm. What kind of memory do you have installed in this machine? It 
takes 1 meg simms, true parity, 9 chip, 100? ns or better. You cannot
use 3 chip simms, odd things will probably happen (they work fine for
some people, but those people are rare).

When I tried 3 chip SIMMs in my 3/60 my SCSI system failed to operate.

Weird.

Also, how is the board jumpered? Is it possible it is jumpered to have
more memory than the board actually has installed?
