After many days work and a hunch that the rom on the IIvi is bad, I can confirm it is. I removed it and took the rom from a working board and soldered it on the non-working board and guess what? Booted up and worked fine.
Now I am in the hunt for a IIvi, IIvx or P600 rom to save this IIvi. If you have any of these boards as a donor, dead board, bombed or anything else and are willing to part with it or the rom, please let me know.
if anyone has the info on making your own or any other suggestions, please let me know.
thanks much.
