The long flash appears but the single short flash for the 5101 RAM does not.
Test EPROM stalls before the RAM pass flash
Cause: Bad 5101, broken traces between it and the 6502, a damaged 6502 R/W line, or faulty select chips Z4 and Z36.
Checks
- Check the 5101 and its traces.
- Check for the 3K pull-up on the 6502 R/W line; early boards lack it.
- Check Z4 and Z36.
Fix
- Replace the failed chip, repair traces, and add the R/W pull-up if missing.
