What I meant was that one of the IC's is shorted internally so that when 
both bits 8 an 9 are high, the chip malfunctions.  This could be one of 
the IC's controlling addressing logic, or one of the RAM chips, or one of 
the ROM chips.

This is Basic 1 with the revised $C000-CFFF ROM.  This version has a 
built-in diagnostic.  You put a diagnostic connector on the user port and 
on the keyboard connector and disconnect anything on the cassette ports. 
You then turn on the computer and it runs the diagnostic and displays the 
result on the screen.  It usually displays at the top of the screen, so 
you should be able to run it.  When it finishes successfully, it turns on 
the red LED on the system board.

User port diagnostic connector:
(Looking from the back of the computer and numbering from left to right)

Connect top 2 to bottom 2
         top 3 to bottom 3
         top 4 to bottom 4
         top 5 to bottom 5 to top 11
         top 6 to top 7 to top 8
         top 9 to bottom 9
         top 10 to bottom 10

Keyboard diagnostic connector:
(Numbering from one end to the other with the key at 19)
connect 1 to 9 to 17
         2 to 10 to 18
         3 to 11
         4 to 12
         5 to 13
         6 to 14
         7 to 15
         8 to 16
