finally the probleme reappeared with the wires removed...

the cursor alternating from the bloc to checker apparently randomely...

I also have $7f character appearing in place of normal char but probably 
caused by the video refresh not the video memory corrupted

but now I have sometime an interaction with the cpu...

yesterday after having removed the wire the machine was stable for hours...
