Old RS/6000 lost its mind

Some time ago I bought an old microchannel RS/6000 39H as a hobby toy. I mostly deal with newer Sun/Oracle equipment so I'm a bit out of my element.

The machine was running, AIX 4.1.3 I believe. Using it via IBM terminal. I stored it for what was apparently too long, and now it stalls out during built in testing.

I'm wondering if any IBM guys can help me solve this one.

Anyway, it dies out with flashing eights and I read out the error codes as 888-103-125-911-ccc-104-205-c09-888. I checked the old microchannel service documentation and I'm either not smart enough or am missing something as the codes didn't seem to translate correctly for me. I'm stuck.

I did all the obvious, reseated the boards, reseated the simms. checked the various power connections. My best guess is that it is some sort of memory issue.

If anybody has any insight I'd greatly appreciate it.
