A3000T - memory issue?

[Tumbleweed]

Thanks Pat. I didnt know such a thing existed. Ill try it out tomorrow depending on how the mem tests go over night.

Very much appreciated.

Cheers Castellen. I ran ATK overnight. 3000T configured as follows:

1. CHIP mem populated with 2MB. I reinstalled the ZIPs I removed.
2. CSMKII 060 with 128MB SIMMS
3. No on-board FAST mem

Ran the all memory diag. No issues reported after 50+ rounds. Yesterday ATK reported errors in FAST mem with on-board FAST ram ZIPs populated. No probs reported today. I suspect I damaged the ZIPs / sockets when reinstalling them. I have new ZIPs arriving at end of this week. So may try them. I also have a 3000D so I can use that to test the ZIPs I removed from the A3000T.

Ill have a look at the PSU. I dont have a scope though but can check voltages using my multi-meter. Maybe I should recap the PSU. Not sure how onerous a task that would be but I am ok using a soldering iron so long as I am clear on whats to be removed and replaced.

Best.

Been a while since last posted on the probs I had with my A3000T. After removing the FAST Ram ZIPs Ive had no probs. Today I received a new Super Buster -11 (from Analogic) which I replaced the existing -07 version and fitted the BIG Ram Plus (from Alinea). Ive not got an immense 128MB + 256MB of FAST RAM.

I remember when I got my first A500 with 512k pf RAM. This was huge as I had a C16 back then with 16k. I then upgraded the A500 with a 1/2 MB trap door expansion to have what was mammoth back then 1MB. Ive now got 384MB plus 2 MB chip   . Now what can I do with it?
