Thanks for the tips everyone!? I can confirm power is GOOD, and the
problem persists even without the RAM installed (Just CPU and MP-C or
MP-S board).? I am going to clean the buss connectors and see if it helps!

Hey everyone, Happy New Years!? I am thankful for an
active community
that enjoys helping each other learn, and today I am coming with an
ask for help.
I have a SWTPC 6800 and ADM3A terminal, I can get it to boot, and when
it boots it will continue to boot for several hours.? But getting it
to successfully boot takes upwards of 100 power OFF and ON cycles.?
The other 99 times, I get a continuous stream of random ASCII
characters (see video link below).? It's my first time seeing this
type of issue that happens intermittently, and wondering if anyone has
any insights in what might be causing this.? I suspect its a faulty IC
on the Processor board that resets or controls the OS reset, will need
to deep dive and diagnose, but thought I would ask for some direction
first.
