All help welcome - I'm baffled by this one.

Customer has a SuperSport (ZWL-184-02) with an internal 20MB hard drive. Any
attempt to boot from the hard disk results in a 'DISK ERROR - INVALID ADDRESS
MARK' message. Boot from floppy - all ok, sees the hard disk without problem.
Ran Zenith diagnostics, no problems reported and hard disk tests OK, but it
still gives the same error on reboot. No problem - reformat.

Ran PREP, ran DOS 3.3 Install, no problems. Attempt to reboot gets the same
error (damn it). Boot from floppy - all ok, sees the hard disk, directory
looks fine. Test hard disk with both Norton Disk Test and Norton Disk Doctor,
no errors reported. Attempt to reboot gets the same error (double damn it).

Before I start throwing parts into this machine, does anyone have a clue as to
what's broken?

 My wife AND my employer ignore my opinions - feel free to do the same!
