All switches should be UP for a memory board fully populated with 256K
chips.  Run the DEC memory diagnostic to isolate bad chips.
There are no switches on  the main board.

Subject:  SALE OF RAINBOW
From:     BRUCE MITCHELL

hello. I have been to a few d:bug meetings before and members have
helped me with my rainbow. I am in a curious position. I
donated my machine to a non-profit. they now want me tp sell it
for them.
 They can not find people willing to learn the Rainbow. I tried to call
andrew taylor at a number on the d:bug newletter, but got a
wrong #. Can some one please advise me the best thing to do.
The Non profit wants some money to use for other activities
from the sale. I suppose a tax deduction might be possible for
the purchase, if the amount paid is over some assumed value of
the machine. I am at 282 2686 if you wish to call. Otherwise I
will check back here. Thank you. Bruce Mitchell.

   Hi all! Glad to get my voice back in this echo. Apparently there
was a glitch on my net here which prevented my messages from passing
beyond net 273. Hopefully it's been fixed.

   Messages should be flowing from INFO-DEC-MICRO/comp.sys.dec.micro
once again. Should I repost messages since the start of December which
I gather no one ever saw?

George
