The fact that if you remove the scsi card (eliminating the HDD and RTC as
possible factors) and boot the system from the 3 system floppies and it
hangs on completion in the same manner indicates (to me) a hardware
problem.

I'm not sure how much RAM is installed,  you could try rotating simms or
reducing what is installed (via removal and service disk) and see if this
changes it.

On the topic of the service floppy. It didn't sound like you were able to
boot the service floppy (using soft f2 f4) with the scsi card installed
which is odd. Are you sure you are pressing the keys correctly and early
enough? You need to do it when the memory test runs.  Regardless it seems
you could boot the 3 system floppies if you removed the scsi card (but it
hung) what about booting the service floppy?  Does it boot without hanging?
Do the settings look correct?
