Actually I've been perusing Hoffman Labs because I finally remembered
FSL instead of SROM for the AS200 (I did one once and it worked).  So
in case its corrupted flash I tried an FSL with a valid freshly made
firmware floppy.  UNfortunately no change.  Environment light
(leftmost) flashes 16 times during POST, then 6 beeps, then
environment light on solid yellow, power light solid green, others
dark.  The floppy drive never twitched so I don't think its getting to
the point of checking for firmware corruption.

I don't get any feedback at all from the machine other than the 6
beeps but I don't know how to connect to the SROM port yet either.
