CPU board locked with good reset, clock and bus lines.
CPU locked: check the EPROM chip select
Cause: Failed chip-select logic, so IC17 is never enabled.
Checks
- With a logic probe check for pulses at IC17 pin 20 (chip select).
- System 3/4: the select logic is IC15 (7442), IC11 (7410) and IC25 (7402).
- System 6/7: it is IC15 (74LS139) and IC11 (74S10).
Fix
- Replace the failed select chip.
