I have pulled all the socketed memory off of the board before running the above tests.  All the cards, drives and everything else.  It's barebones.  I'll run the tests thru the serial port tonight and post here.  Thanks again for the help and suggestions.

Attached is the link to the serial output from Diagrom 1.2.1. The 3000T only has the onboard ram in it, all other socketed memory has been removed.

I unfortunately don't have a way to burn my own roms.

I don't have it hooked up right now but I do remember it would quit lighting after so many clicks.  I'm just not sure how many.

I do have replacement zip chips (and sockets) that are known good and working and replacement 74F245PC chips and sockets to replace as well but I don't know anyone who is willing to do the soldering work for me other than one fellow overseas which I don't want to ship the board that far as it's a huge board.  Really don't want to ship it anywhere, would prefer to take it to someone who could do the work so I'm just waiting until I can find someone within say 500 miles or so from me.

That's the first I've ever heard of that.  Would Diagrom work with a bad CPU? It does come up with Diagrom.

Still trying to get my 3000T going.  Have sent it to Chris Edwards to take a look at it.  He has replaced the onboard chip memory and it is still doing the same thing.  He has 2mb of chip memory in the machine now and it is only showing 1mb.   He has run diagrom again and is getting the following.  Here is his facebook post regarding it:

https://www.facebook.com/groups/CommodoreAmiga/permalink/10159059422414157/

This is it attached below.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
