Hi Bryan,

This looks pretty good.  There are no double question marks which would
indicate possibly more serious failures.

? CLK suggests the time of year clock is not set because the battery is bad.
(I suggest removing the battery before it leaks.)

? DZ usually means that one of the serial ports could not be tested (the one
you have the console terminal connected to).

The other results are all good.

What happens when you give it a BOOT command?
