broken data line to ASC. Common problem. Sometimes you get a direct break at the ASC, But 99% of the time, the break occurs between the 8530 and 53C80 SCSI/SCC. 

The result is crappy to no sound, and majority of OS freezes/crashes with address error. 
Ok, so I found the schematics and did continuity tests.  I tested the address lines between UE10 and UK6 (as well as UJ11, and UI12).  Everything checks out fine.  I also checked for continuity from the Sony sound chips (UB10 and UB11) to UE10.  All is well there too.  Do you have any other suggestions?
