Sounds very familiar to me,
had this twice and was a blocked  (stickey) key on one of the keyboards.
Make sure all your keyboard switches are free moving and not stuck.
Hope this helps,
Good Luck!

With the stuck key, you don't get the repetitive beep.. that's been my experience so far.

Ye its not a stuck key sadly I know for 100% now after further testing

so what do you suspect the most, the keyboard, or the Keyboard/VDU interface card?

The keyboard card in the computer.

If it should have been the keyboard, wouldnt the computer still "take control" over the VCA in and out when loading was done? it seems it stucks after loading in my second disc and then I get this

Yeah, you're right.. the computer will load and take control of the VCA's with no keyboard attached.

Have a tested spare Keyboard/VDU interface card if your stuck.

Thanks for the help

There is at least one problem in keyboard VDU card since the ribbon cable brunt out Line 4 and 7

I only have a handwritten schematic to this card, anyone has a better one perhaps?

This problem is solved!   ;D

Bad program disc!
For any of you who watched the video it do seems everything is loading correct in the boot, at the end it switches over to the other disc and loads it, then started blipping!

I never suspected the disc because we keep the console on 24h mostly and this behavior was there when we arrived to the studio, but probably there must have been a power failure causing the console to reboot during the night and then ofcourse the problem had to appear  >:(
