What kind of RAM? Your best bet is 8 chips on each stick, not 2, 4 or 9. Check to see that they are the same speed, 60ns is about the fastest you can get cheap, 70, and 80 work good to, 100 is the slowest, I think. If you feel all is well with the RAM but still no joy, try scrubbing the contacts on each RAM stick with an eraser until they shine. The codes mean you have RM and Ram errors. x00f x001 = The ROM checksum test failed. x00f x002 = The first Small chunk of RAM to be tested failed. (should be other numbers and or letters) Were there any other numbers or letters on the screen? Michael -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
