My old NCR Tower 1632 is now refusing to boot, preferring to say 
Bus error - Address 00001665

In order that I might be able to get it running again, and still retain my
arms and legs, I'd love to be able to fix it myself or enlist the aid of
one of the more hardware oriented acquaintences.  It is not on maintenance,
so would be expensive to have NCR's field engineers look at.   I know that
is probably the best route, but I'm looking for a workable, CHEAPER,
alternative.  Does anybody have any advice as to what this particular error
might be telling me.  I've contacted NCR about getting a hardware service
manual.  That should shed some light if I'm able to get one.

Any help will be appreciated.  I have a sentimental attachment to this old
box.

Weaver
