Time for a memory test program. Someone should chime here shortly
with a good program to use. My favorite back when was the one put out
by Franklin for their Ace computers. it loaded into such a small part
of memory, it was great at finding any RAM problems.
And on the //c, you cannot put sockets for the RAM in a couple of the
positions, because the clearance of the built-in floppy don't allow it.
