(Not the fastest thing on the planet, but it was free...:) I know this board takes 70ns 72-pin parity RAM -- I'm fresh outta parity RAM right now unless I steal some from one of the other machines, which really isn't an option for about three weeks... I tried to put some non-parity RAM on it just for kicks, and it appears to be dead -- doesn't do much at all - no PCI video card init, no speaker beeps, no nuthin'. Same results as if I had no memory in it at all... Is this normal?? (Should I go spend the $80 to get some parity RAM for a board that might not work anyway?) mike To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
