    All-

    My VS 4K-60 has developed an odd quirk on boot.

    Bringing the machine up from a cold start- it makes it through the
    inital memory test and the suddenly halts, displays the message
    Restart 85, and then boots all over again normally.

    If I unplug the ethernet cable, it boots normally.

    The cable is plugged into a Baystak 102 hub which in turn is fed by a
    Linksys cable router. I get the same behaviour if I unplug the
    opposite end from the hub.

    On the machine end of the cable is a Synoptics 508A transciever. Is
    this possibly a sign of the 508 headed for casters-up mode? My
    current setup has the machine in a spot that swapping the transciever
    for another known good one a last resort.

    Any advise is welcome.
