AAA! What's happened to my Blizzard1260??
« on: September 29, 2003, 08:31:37 PM »
I put in a nice new 64Mb SIMM from these guys and now my accelerator isn't working! I've even restored my original memory configuration (16Mb and 32Mb on the SCSI-Kit) and it's still not working.

There's going to be hell to pay for this dealer if the accelerator is damaged...  :-x

Yeah, but I've got the right to complain, don't I?

Okay, things are working now, as long as I don't put any RAM on the SCSI-Kit. That means I've only got 64Mb, as opposed to the 96Mb I was hoping for.

Might a perfect match for the 64Mb chip work on the SCSI Kit?

Also, thanks for all the help everyone! :-)

dont mix 60 and 70ns simms


Maybe that's it. My new chip is 60ns, my old chips are unlabeled. The 16Mb is at least as old as 1997, the 32Mb I don't recall when I got, but 60ns SIMMs are a more recent invention, yes?

Hmmm... The old chips are 60ns, too. So I guess different speeds isn't the problem. I'll try fiddling around a bit more (maybe by freak coincidence I'm having those power problems when the 32Mb chip happens to be in).

If not, I'd better try to find a matching SIMM...
