[Dave Philipsen]

Some people found that replacing the Motorola MC68B09EP CPU with a 
second source "AMI" brand CPU worked.  Another fix involved replacing 
caps C10 and C11 with 100pF caps and replacing R9 and R10 with 100-ohm 
resistors.  I do not know if the Hitachi 6809 or 6309 would produce the 
same results.  If I were you, I'd tried the cap/resistor fix first and 
see if that works.  These components are tied to the E and Q clock lines.
