Turns out he didn't have the same initial SIMM bank as everyone else -- i.e., it was from a different manufacturer. The local guru at Levco suggested that adding a second bank of RAM, not from that manufacturer, would probably screw up the timing -- particularly if the second bank of RAM became ready (on each cycle) before the first. Wish I had the manufacturer's names to offer more. But this might explain why some of these upgrades work for some, not all. -- Joel West (c/o UCSD) Palomar Software, Inc., P.O.
