The framebuffers were 010104, and none worked ... only coloured flashing 
patterns.

DI N was a typo...

The machine didn't boot from ethernet because the adapter is without boot 
rom. I took the image from another adapter and I'll burn a new eprom.

If I use it without keyboard, connecting through serial line, it seems to 
work. If I issue the TE(st) command, it hangs. The monitor stops flashing 
and no more serial communication. I have to reset from the back switch.

It shouldn't be a bus related problem, since the OMTI, Domain Ring and 
ethernet adapters seem to work.
There's a trouble in the video section. I cleaned all contacts, cleaned 
and washed the motherboard and tried all available slots. Swapped the 
memory boards. Nothing.

I could try to replace the MB boot rom. The Mnemonic Debugger is very 
old, version 0.2.
