Controller error messages result from failure in either hardware or software.
Some controller error messages occur during startup tests. The messages
mean that the controller is malfunctioning, but is still able to display the
error m,assage. Certain conditions can also be detected during controller
reset, on insertion of a cartridge, and at other times after the completion of
power-up initialization. An error stops the test sequence, the unit goes off
line, and the alarm sounds. The controller will attempt to recover, if
possible. If the problem is not found during initialization, but nxurs during
operation, most likely the fault is in the hardware.
