Re: RamFactor

KP,

Try the same site Steven referenced, <http://ae.applearchives.com>, and get
the manual for the RamCharger, rather than the RamFactor.

I downloaded a copy of that manual from that site this morning and it has a
great set of illustrations showing exactly where the jumpers are.

There are two, and a note says to be sure and keep the jumpers in case you
want to use the RamFactor without a RamCharger. There's a good chance the
prior owner had a RamCharger but didn't keep the jumpers.

So, I would suggest your looking at your card to see if the jumpers are in
place AND making good contact.

If they are missing, go to a place like Radio Shack and buy a pack for $.99.

If they are intact and making good contact, the card needs a card doctor.
