i had the same on a 8500.
dodgy memory in my case.
also IIRC they use a 5v memory so dont try to use PC stuff, even
though it will fit.

I am pretty certain it is not a software problem now having
completely wiped
and started fresh - zapped pram - DiskWarrior etc and have tried
swapping
ram such that I don't believe it is ram either.
The ide cable to HD looks a bit like it has been crimped pretty
badly but I
have no idea if this is a culprit.
Seems a shame to dump it. I'd be into trying other parts etc but
havent got
any money really. I imagine there are piles of these things around
or being
dumped as they rarely sell for much anymore - but they run Mac OS9 ok.
So what am I rambling on about?
any last ideas - offers of cheap parts or even someone else who
wants to
test their machood and maybe succeed where I failed?
all the best
