Don,
Sounds like it's time to upgrade your boot rom chip set. I don't have an
Access Pro, so I don't really know if it is the same as a 2500. However, I
upgraded all my 2500s and my Cat 5505 Sup-III a couple weeks ago for $10
each. The seller has many more listed on eBay and could probably tell you
if his chips will work in your Access Pro:

He sent a free extractor tool, but I couldn't seem to use it right; I just
used an awl with no problems. Won't cost you much to try it.
