I asked the german distributor for this board ( I worked there for a while),
and they told me, that this could be ram-card. Mostly, the Chips (TTL) are going
to be mad. Try any other RAm-card if possible. Otherwise it could be the ram 
itself. Try to drop until 1 MB then change all DRAMs until you found the mad 
bad one. Hope this helps you a bit. CU, Markus
