8MB RAM on OctoRAM board
I used to have 8MB of RAM on my OctoRAM board some years ago, and had
no problems with it. I sold 4 of the 8 a couple years ago, and now
I've just purchased 4 more, 70ns, 1x9 1MB, 30-pin SIMMs (because I got
a great price) from Fry's Electronics. I placed them on the OctoRAM
to fully load it; set the jumpers to recognize 8 MB, and fired up the
computer. Now the system won't boot. I tried setting the RAM cache
to over 4MB (since I know there are DMA problems with > 4MB RAM) and
tried again, no boot. Is there something I'm missing? I was told by
someone here that 1x9 SIMMs are OK to use on the OctoRAM card. Was
this incorrect?
A little info about my system:

RamFAST v3.01f (got this in June '96)

Any suggestions/help will be appreciated.
