After the 1st few "dots" on the initial Nitros9 boot screen it looks like
random characters are placed in random locations along the 1st row of the
screen.
I then see horizontal lines placed randomly on screen and the coco is locked
up.

I think I've narrowed down my coco problems to a bad 512K upgrade, but
replacing the 86 gime with a 87 version, the coco boots just fine.
Like I said, I'm not having any luck with my coco computers, and no luck
finding  replacment 512k upgrades (so far) for both the CoCos I want to have
running.
