Given the fact that your disks do boot randomly with the CONTROL.ACC,
and that Silicon Dreams also had problems, I would immediately suspect
a hardware problem.  Try using a blank formatted disk with nothing
on it (No CONTROL.ACC) and see what happens.  This could be a loose
chip problem (unlikely) or a bad drive, in either case the dealer
should give it a look.
