Happy New Year,

I am a new Apple // GS owner and I have a problem.    I  am in  the process
of upgrading the memory expansion card to the max.  However I bought
Samsung  41256AP-15 memory chips  (256K x 1) from Sabina a mail order house
in California.  After carefully instaling the chips, making sure I am
grounded to prevent static discharge and installing the chips in the proper
orientation; and putting in the jumpers the system failed to boot up from
the GS system disk.   Removing the jumpers the system works fine.  The
initial fault was a 308.  

This also happened in the store while I was looking at the display model
which also had a full memory expansion card. ( System  has total of 1.256
Meg)  However when he turned the machine off and on the problem went away.
I noticed that all the ram  that is hardwired in the machine is  120 ns ram
while the ones I have 150 ns  However this shouldn't affect the machine
operation because the CPU  is running at less than 3 Mhz.  Can anyone help
me.

Has anyone purchased chips from Sabina?

Thanks in advance,

Ronald
