Dave,
I have used Memorystock.com to source memory for a few old computers here.
The memory I have received has JUST worked - nothing but great.
I find (at 71) my wetram doesn't seem to work quite like it used to. It
still seems just as capable as ever but slower. 😀 My keyboard is not as
sharp either, but that may not be all the keyboard's fault. An upgrade
would be appreciated.
Your project seems like fun. I enjoy following your posts.
Have fun,
Stuart
I didn't think you were that far behind me Stuart, but at 90, I'll have
to plead to the same list of effects. Marian Morrison, aka John Wayne,
once said, "May you be in heaven 2 weeks before the devil hears you're
dead..."Â You helped me build the 1st of 4 machines decades back up the
log, thank you.

The 440BX "Seattle" chipset supports up to 768 megs RAM, up to 3 DIMMs.
You said you have 320. Most likely you have a pair of 128 meg and one 64
meg. Replace the 64 with a 3rd 128. Match the PC speed (PC66, PC100, PC133)
of what's in there.
What CPU is in it? If the RAM you have doesn't match or exceed its bus
speed that will drastically slow it down. One thing to watch out for is
that type of RAM during its later years of production was made to run only
at its rated speed so it would not be able to run at a slower speed. That's
why it's best to match what you already have, if it's the right speed for
the CPU.

Indeed that would be interesting. I suspect that it will be found wanting
in memory. The corded mouse seems a bit flaky, way too sensitive. After
several tries I did get the terminal to fly. It may be that the keyboard is
in need of help? Is is possible to do a live load off the net? No usb
ports! Intel Seattle board. Time to go dig some more. > back to
experimental mode. Have to see if I can dig a switch and a jumper. Geometry
to get to the floppy is difficult. I’m amazed that it isn’t completely
dead.
Time to go turn on some heat.
