I ran the memory tests, and it looks like it might be fried RAM sockets as suspected, but the chip RAM socket is OK... I put each SIMM individually in each of the four sockets and got "0 other mem" on all of them. Sometimes I had to keep reseating them, or else I'd get a purple screen or a yellow screen.

So it looks like I may have to get my hands on another A2000/3000/4000 to use the Toaster and the Personal TBCs...how much can I expect to sell an A4000 with fried RAM sockets? Is that something that can even be replaced?


Like the above poster said, nearly all A4000 accelerators include the option to add fast memory, or you could try something like ZorRam, etc.  You've still got all kinds of options!  Plus I'm sure someone else will come along soon and tell you how to repair those ram socket traces.  ;)
