Elation turned to screaming this afternoon after my 1400's new 32MB RAM module arrived. Previously, the unit had a 16MB "base" module (upgraded from the original 12MB module), plus another 16MB stackable module, and all of this worked.
To test the 32MB module, I pulled the 16MB stackable module and put in the 32MB module alone, and this worked, too. What does NOT work is the 32MB stackable module and the 16MB stackable module *together* -- I get a RAM error on startup, and only 48MB of the ostensibly 64MB I should have is recognised. In any configuration, no matter which one is first on the motherboard and which one is stacked on top, the two modules will not coexist. Yet each will work independently. Short of something horrible such as a shot connector plate (I sure hope not) on the stackable modules, what else could be happening? This is a 1400cs/117, upgraded to a 1400c screen, with a Sonnet G3/333 + 512MB cache, 48MB RAM (at the moment :-/), Best Data 56K modem card, and 8-bit Apple video expansion card, running 8.1. -- ----------------------------- personal page: http://www.armory.com/~spectre/ -- Cameron Kaiser, Point Loma Nazarene University * [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- If ignorance is bliss, shouldn't I be happier? ----------------------------- -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
