Re: Ramworks III problem



Hmmm, go ahead an try to swap in a fresh bank of RAM and re-run the
test, but I have an inkling that the problem may not be the RAM itself.
 Thats a very catastrophic failure for just being "bad" RAM.  If the
card fails the same way with "new" RAM in bank D, try putting the
original IC's which you removed out of bank D into another bank and see
if they test OK.

At this point, assuming that we confirm bank D has addressing issues,
you can pull all 8 DRAMs out of bank D and see if the card tests OK
with 768k.
