  The GS-RAM Plus came with (or should have come with) a disk with a
memory test on it.  In order to find the bad chips, run the test for
several *hours* (giving the chips a thorough workout).  If you have
the 2 meg piggyback board for the GS-RAM series, your last meg on the
base card won't show up (although it's not disabled totally if you have
a ROM01).
