 Here's the situation:

   We have 2 VAXstation 2000's that we recently bought 3rd party memory for to
   max them out at 14 Mb ,we are having a problem getting one of the stations
   to recognize all 12Mb on the board. 

   TAC1 = VAXstation 2000, Satellite in LAVC. Has a local RD54. Running VMS
   5.3-1. Originally had 6 Mb ( 4Mb + 2 Mb resident ). Swapped out the	  4Mb
   DEC board and installed a 3rd party 12Mb board. Booted the system up, did
   show memory and there is was 14mb.

   TAC2 = VAXstation 2000, Standalone system with RD54 and TK50 in an expansion
   box. Running VMS 5.4-1. Same memory config as TAC1. Swapped out the 4MB
   board, rebooted the system. When I do a show memory, only 4Mb show up. Had
   our hardware FE do the installation and he was at a loss as to what is going
   on. He ran diagnostics, negative.  

   If anyone has run into this before, or has any
   ideas/hints/suggestions/words_of_wisdom reagarding this problem i would
   appreciate any and all.
