I bought my 1400c/133 in February of 1997, and it has the 8MB "expansion" board, so 16 MB on the board. I promptly bought two 24 meg stackable cards. I installed both, and upon startup, got the memory check error, and have had it ever since. From a cold start-up, I can click continue and go onto the finder, and when I select About this Macintosh..., the computer only recognizes 60 MB. Next, I select Restart, and everything boots properly, memory check is fine, and then I get the full 64MB. So my guess is that on a cold boot, not all the stacks of memory get powered-up in time for memory check. And yes, when I remove one of the 24 MB cards, the cold-boot is hitch-free.
I guess this would be a good time to ask if there is a way for me to delay the memory check long enough for the memory stacks to completely power-up. -Peter >===== Original Message From Malcolm Cornelius <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ===== >I have heard of this problem but never seen it myself, and I've upgraded a >few 4MB to 8MB. > >My instinct would have been incompatible stackable cards or a bad 8MB card, >can anyone shed any more light on this one ? -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
