I've had a few troubled boards I've been putting off working on. This past March, my motivation to do something with these boards increased! This was due to the wonderful new Reconnaissance application, developed by @jack 68k. First up was an SE/30 with some boot issues. Reconnaissance informed me of an issue with the Bank A RAM - cool! Next up was a IIcx board that didn't chime. No luck communicating with that one. Lastly, I tried a IIcx board that chimed but never reached a flashing floppy disk.

The diagnostic log for this board is attached below. I think there's hope for this one. I have no idea what a VIA timer is, but at least it gives me a place to start looking for trouble. I can't wait for more models to be added to this great program, and I encourage everyone to give it a try.
