I would carefully clean the card edge on the computer and the expansion 
box with a clean pencil eraser to remove any oxide. This connection was
somewhat of a problem on the Model 1. Many of us added a header to the card
edge that was gold plated to make a more reliable connection.

						Good Luck!
