- A friend's A500 was moved last weekend to a new home. After hooking
- everything up again, it failed to boot; blinking power light and
- screen alternating between green and purple are the most noticeable
- symptoms. I haven't had a chance to look at it myself yet, but I thought
- it worth enquiring here whether this is something easily identifiable.
-
- System is an original A500 + A501, with a Supra 500XP and Sony 1311
- monitor, 2.04 ROMs. The obvious thing to try next is unhooking the
- hard drive and trying a floppy boot - any other clues would be
- gratefully received. This may be an FAQ, but if it is, I've FTA.
