Re: Sirius Ram Cards

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

Okay, final update:

    I switched the ram out on the two cards. What was the 2 meg card is now
a 4 meg card. Ran the tests again. No failures. Stuck the newly made 4 meg
card into a Rom 01 machine and viola! it boots. I guess the other card has a
bad chip. I just bought that card too. Bummer.

    Still, if anyone has anything to add I would appreciate it. Thanks!

David
