A few post back someone suggested that the ribbon-cable may not be connected ( or bad ). I'm saying this has nothing to do with my problem. The motherboard should and would still fire up without the ribbon-cable being connected, go through the memory test and all that happy horse****...BUT....the motherboard would stop once it tried to load from disk and display on the screen BOOT DISK FAILURE. Just tossing out the possibility of the ribbon-cable being the problem.

I agree 110%.  Even with no hard drive connected at all, a bad hard drive or a backwards cable - the motherboard will still post and then give an error.  If you get no display, it's a - monitor problem, video card problem or motherboard problem.  The not-normal beeping points right to the motherboard.

Dpalmi's post from Wiki was pretty cool to read about.
The beeps were never standardized and...

Thanks!  Yes - there was never any standard - although most boards will follow - 3 beeps - memory - 8 beeps - video card issue.

GOOD TIP ! I did not try any other parts in a computer system. My first step is going to be to wait for the EMERALD harddrive. ( It should bve here any day now ).
 Till then I'm moving onto another project. I'll let you all know what happens when my other drive arrives.

 Thanks again.

I you can post a picture of the MITSUBISHI--BOARD YOU REMOVED front and back side -- with a better pic so we can see the words MITSUBISHI
would be cool .

I WILL POST SOME PICTURES  of  a few of the TELCO mother boards
plus the "ENDAT " MOTHER BOARDS USED IN THE MERITS -NOTICE THE PLUG CONFIGURATION OUT-PUT ANGLE OF THE
"ENDAT BOARD" WHICH IS A DEAD GIVEAWAY WHEN LOOKING QUICK .

 Please refer to ANY Merit Maxx upgrade kit manual. In there are illustrations of the TELCO and MITSUBISHI motherboards and how to tell them apart. That's exactly how I identified mine.
