I just bought a Progressive Peripherals 8 Meg RAM board I had populated with 2
megs worth of Toshiba 100 and 150ns RAMs (the board is made by ASDG, I
believe.).  Well, the 1st time, the board said 8 of the 1MBITX8 chips were
bad, so I plunked down $150 to replace them.  Then, the store tested the
board, and the included test software said the chips were good.  When I got
the board home, in my Amiga 2000HD Rev. 4.5 motherboard, the thing gurud
repeatedly, with things like Exec freeing memory already free, etc, and when I
ran the memory test, it said one of the chips was bad.  Can anyone help me
with this problem?  Are there any problems with Progressive Peripherals ProRAM
2000 boards and Rev 4.5 motherboards, are there any problems with the board in
general, and can anyone recommend a good board in the same price range (up to
$280 for an unpopulated 8 Meg board that uses 150ns or better 1 MegaBit RAM
chips)...?
