Nice catch!  It's fixed now (so stop laughing at me :-D ).

Alright, so I got a new Agnus chip, but that doesn't seem to have cleared anything up. I boot up the system, and get a black screen, and after about 30 seconds or so both the internal and external floppy lights come on and stay on. Anyone know anything else that could be the cause of this problem?

Try a new psu, unhook everything including the floppy drive and check for battery leaking. Battery corrosion can cause all kinds strange symptoms.

I've checked the battery, but I don't see any signs of leakage. So I guess we can cross that out. I don't have another PSU, so I can't try that.

Hi,
please take the time to clean each chip and support with an electronic contact cleaner spray and a teethbrush.
It highly seems to me that you got an oxydation problem like I had  :rtfm:
if you can get an OLD PC AT psu or an ATX, use the floppy connector to power it (but plug also CDROM, HDD... on the psu to make it load well).
