It's not in as good a condition, and comes up with a 02FFFF sad mac (anyone know what this means?).
This numeric code is in two parts:

The first two characters are the class code. The class code tells what part of the diagnostic program found the error.

The second four are the sub code. The sub class code tells what the error was. In the case of a bad RAM chip, the sub class identifies the bad chip (this was very helpful to homegrown upgraders).

Class Code Sub Code

1=ROM test failed Meaningless

2=Memory test--bus subtest identifies bad chips

3=Memory test--byte write identifies bad chips

4=Memory test--Mod3 test identifies bad chips

5=Memory test--address uniqueness identifies bad chips

As far as i can understand, if think this is bad memory chip related.
