All I can thing of to suggest is you goto the early menu of your BPPC card (hold down escape on bootup) and goto the mem config and set it as 70ns, hopefully that will help. Other than that are you sure the simms you are using are really 32mb's and they work fine on another machine?

Hello
Yes i am sure that they are working and i have try what you say that change nothing .
So i have unmount one of the 2 and now i have less memory avaible .
It look like the amiga see them like 2x 4mo on place of the 2x 32 mo :(((
Not any idea ??
Normaly you put it on and make not any changes and the full memory will be showed up in the os 3.9 ??
Without extra changes ??

If the memory is working right, it will show up regardless of the OS you are running.
I don't know much about the PPC cards, but from what I understand some Phase5/DCE cards can be picky about memory types. I use a 64mb FPM simm in my 1260 and it works great.
Make sure the memory is the right type specified by
the manufacturer, i.e you may need to use FPM simms instead of EDO.
