I recently acquired a second Fortune Systems Box, and am now getting
an error message of the type:

		At PC 0x43E8 Fatal Error: Refresh Time Out

I can faithfully reproduce the problem with some code I have.

It sounded like there was a problem with the DRAM, so I swapped memory
boards with my other system, but to no avail.  I even replaced the
68000 with an 8 MHz (it had a L6) just to satisfy myself.  Could there
be a problem with the disk????

Now What?  I hope someone out there who has played with the Fortune
hardware can help me (anybody from Fortune out there?).

If it matters, the system is one of those Bunker Ramo 5 MByte systems
that Fortune made for B.R.
