On the contrary.  Here's the deal, Bill: it doesn't take very much
testing to determine that something doesn't work.  Although I figured
it might take you a while.

Previous to the installation of your card, my Zip GSX was used in many
configurations at 13mhz and the TWGS at 15mhz with absolutely no issues
(see previous post).  These are cards that will boot GSOS significantly
faster than the stable speeds I'm indicating above.  The only change in
the configuration was the use of your card.  All other variables had
been eliminated.  Once I installed your card, and realized there was a
problem, I proceeded to further "lighten the load" by removing my Apple
HS SCSI card, Microdrive, Uther and Futuresound cards, leaving only my
Focus,  accelerator and your card.  Still GSOS would crash upon bootup.
 Only when I downclocked my accelerator, did I get a complete boot with
the Ram4GS.  The same scenario occured when I swapped accelerators.

After removing your card, I evaluated the system with all 3 of my other
ram cards in order to verify my findings, in all cases I was back up to
speed.  After reinstallation of all of my additional hardware, I was
crash free as well.

Maybe if your card design wasn't so chincy, we wouldn't be having this
discussion, you would have had something to fall back on.  This is
something you may want to consider next time you decide to leave a few
chips off here and there.  Maybe you'll go that extra mile and spend a
couple extra nickles to get your card edge fingers gold plated while
you're at it.

In regards to a flame war, I don't thing Usenet has enough bandwith to
cover the dirt I have on you, so we need not go there.  I don't know
who the other trolls are, frankly I was suprised to see them jump in.
Clearly, I'm not the only one who dislikes you.
