Actually, it should have said something else after the word ERROR, indicating that your problem is "unspecified". I'm betting you've still got a short somewhere, so try cleaning the whole thing again well.

Also, did it count up to 128k more than once? My recollection is that the memory test goes by twice, and if its not making it a second time, then it may well be a bad memory chip, altough it should give you a code to tell you which one it is, so that may not be it.

Also, completely remove the hard drive. You may not know this, but like the Apple II, these things came with basic in rom, so it should at least boot to basic if its got nothing in it.

You've also got to get your hands on a Dos boot disk of vintage 3.11 to 6.0. (pre 3.1 did not support hard drives!).

Yes, I had one. Worse it was a PC 2 that came with 2 floppy disks! Mine burned up in the Great Oakland Fire, but I loved that thingy. The keyboard can't be beat! (You could probably knock out a cow with it...).

Good luck!
