The monitor gave out; I substituted a monochrome I had, put the hood
back, and fired
up. Now there is no whir from the microdrives, no LED lighting on the
black box,
no LEDs on the 3.5 drives, and again the "not recognized" message (the
monitor does come up). The modem when turned on at this point does show
the first
two LEDs. The printer is live.
So, Phoebus, while I can't say you were wrong, I don't know what _is_
going on.
I've never heard of these sorts of symptoms before.
I am pretty sure, that because your message was that the ROM is not
recognized, I told you to check if everything was seated properly and no
pins were bent (and I meant the Minerva as well). It's been a while since
I wrote that and I cannot find the email, but if I didn't mention the
actual ROM it wasn't intentional.
As the message says... the ROM is not being recognised, so that's the
first place you should look, however I've had the same message on my
Aurora/SGC combo when the SGC or Aurora wasn't seated properly on the
Q-Plane (the M-Plane eliminated that) and if the RomDisQ wasn't properly
connected...

P.S. As you say the machine was out of service for a while... if it was
taken apart and the Minerva board was left outside in contact with the
sunlight (and the protective label off) it may well have been erased
partially... that will make SURE it won't work.
I can lend you a Minerva/freeQDOS v.2.00 for you to check (that is only
the EPROM) but you will have to change the jumpers on your Aurora for it
to work first.
