Well, maybe I can give back some ideas to help repay you for all the 
advice you have been able to give.

It seems your hardware options have nearly all been tried. before 
moving on to fully reloading the OS, I would suggest you do the 
following:

Make sure no midi cables are plugged in (I have seen bizarre things 
when a midi buffer overrun happens in my XL-1's chain, IE: during 
SMIDI sample dumps) and restart.

Unplug the hardware from the power source long enough to let the 
capacitors discharge (~10 minutes would be more than enough)

Remove all simms but one and try it in each slot to test for a power 
surge affecting the this path. If the problem is suddenly gone, 
repeat but with a different simm each time (looking for some 
conbination that causes the problem)

If all else fails, you should consider getting whatever data you can 
out of the system and reloading the software, taking special note to 
observe any abnormalities with the reload process.
