You might have to track       down the instructions to see if the second bank is usable. It is also       possible that it is only a 2mb board. It may be that the designers just       used a single PCB for 2/4mb ram.              Mark              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
