	I have a question for other users of the net that have been 
	servicing and or have run into this problem.

	I have a 130 XE machine, that will not allow one to do 
	anything except watch the RAM test in the self help 
	diag's text. It goes there right off. Once in a while one 
	can press RESET and get the machine to Basic, but after 
	hitting Return, major Lock-up.

	Have tried the OS chip, wish another, and even my Omni view, 
	along with the Antic, the Salley and MMU (6161) all to no 
	avail. These seemed to be the place to start, but all yeild 
	the same problem. I was going to try the PIA chip, but think that 
	this would yeild the same, and really don't like de-soldering 
	40 pin chips. I can think of more pleasent things to do ;^)

	Any help would be appreciated, as this one has me scratching
	my head. 

	BTW. All is the same EVEN with the Keyboard not connected

	rich.....
