Howdy.

     I returned home on Thursday night, ready to log on and read
the news.  Only, my machine greeted me with one long beep, then
one short beep.  I was able to boot Diagnostics (v1.0), and the
test said "SYSTEM 108 - ERROR" (or something to that effect).

Any clues?  I just need a real short description (if possible)
of what to look for.  I've got a chip tester available and would
like to know where to start looking.  If you could send E-mail
it would be much appreciated, since my access to the News is
rather sporadic for the time being.

Thanks much.
