I have the aMEGA board by CardCo (they have a new name now --
don't know what it is).  It is a 1 Megabyte board.

I finally ran Perry's memtest program.  I ran it 4 times
with the following results:

CHIP		FAST		DIFFERENCE
35383655	44900431	9516776	(26.89%)
35400321	44833767	9433446	(26.64%)
35400321	45000428	9600107	(27.11%)
35416986	45117109	9700123	(27.38%)

Unless I'm doing something wrong, it looks like
I'm loosing a lot more than the advertised 4% loss.
Does this mean I have one of the earlier boards which
had some kind of problem?

I ran each test by booting up and typing ^D as soon as the first
echo message appeared on the screen.  Then I'd type the program
name.  The test could only be run once after each boot.  If I tried
to run it again, the system would crash.

Has anyone had similar results?  Has anyone tried to get their
aMEGA board exchanged?
