Well, I've been busy for the past few days, but today I finally had time to sit down
and mess with it. It turns out the problem was that Six Pak card. I pulled it out and
reseated it and now it works just fine.
Oh Wow, I didn't recognize your name until you
said that! Sorry to hear
your having trouble with it. Remind me what cards are in it? I get the
PC and XT's I owned all mixed up.
I think I had an AST Six Pak Plus in it, if it's still installed, make
sure all the memory in that card is still seated too.
I remember having a hard time bringing the computer up one time. I
think all I did was push down on the memory chips to get it reliable
again. Since this much time has passed, it might be a good idea to pull
the socketed ram chips and clean them. I have heard of some Apple //
guys using some sort of cleaner on chips.... I think it was something
like TarnX, or something found at the grocery store. Maybe Tony could
recommend something, too.

Yeah, I'm the guy that bought it :-) This is your old PC. BTW, a friend of mine was
able to get me another monitor for it.
I'll try messing with it a little more this afternoon. Thanks to everyone for the
suggestions.
