On either of the two drives booting resulted in a blank error panel being displayed on the MOSS screen. Turning various extensions on and off ( over ten hours of reboots altogether. ) showed that I could get it to go farther and farther along in the startup but that even if a desktop was established it would crash almost immediately at the slightest action. In the few error messages that did come to text were system error 10 and 11. Also a finder error CHK (check ?).[snip]
Simplify.
Eliminate all external peripherals, except the keyboard, mouse, and monitor.
Eliminate all add-in cards and all other internal peripherals, except the boot HD and CD-ROM and Floppy drives.
Boot from a Mac OS CD.
Run processor and memory and bus diags for umpteen hours, such as those in PowerControl.
If that works, then start working on software. A clean Mac OS installation first....
