Re: RE(2): Echoplex memory mess...



If the unit works as you say ("the unit worked fine with the supplied
50secs of memory"), fine with one set of simms, and not another then
the simms are to be suspected, not the EDP.  I have a wide variety of
mixed used simms in my 2 EDPs, no issues.

Defective or damaged ram is not an uncommon problem (I am in volume
manufacturing of storage devices) .  There is nothing to sort out,
since the EDP works fine with the 50 sec of memory.  The EDP works,
the new Simms don't.
