Thanks for your hints. I tried booting with keyboard disconnected (thus mouse disconnected), and I own no joystick. Same thing, fast continuous beeps remain. I've been thinking, since my MEGA ST2 is absolutely standard, and no updates have been made, do you think it is possible that the original TOS is not geared for operating past a certain year, let's say, 1998? Last time I set up the Atari, back in 1995, I think, it worked just fine. Then I disconnected and packed it in its original cases, which I still keep, in a dry and well ventilated place in my closet. One more thing, I replaced the batteries, for the first time, after I experienced this problem, thinking that might be the cause. Still baffled. I have not received any other suggestions from forum readers, but I still hope some MEGA tinkerers might read my SOS.
