Ok, if you are getting something out the line with the xtal/osc in, you might be ok. What kind of ram - real parity is needed, 36bit. Speed diff might be a problem on the ram, not sure, sometimes the alphas are a little touchy. I put in all 60ns ram in mine - bought from sysmerica too! You could drop back to a lower freq osc, and try that. There are a few PDF files on the pc164 that have some good info. Have you picked those up? I put a generic video card in mine, and brought it up that way. with an IDE drive at that!! good luck bob "Kevin M.
