Re: Sirius Ram Cards

["David\\Julie Wilson" <cybrslider@home.com>]

Here's another update:

    I changed the jumpers on the 4 meg card to 2 meg. Took out 2 chips.
Tested every combination of the 2 chips and no failures. Changed it back to
4 meg and again, the two aforementioned failures. Could it be the simm slot
is bad? I would think probably one of the other chips is bad maybe?

Thanks.

David
