AFAIR the MArk 1's were fussy about the memory.  And I don't remember software to poll the ram ever having existed.

Try installing some of your motherboard ram, which you know is working, onto the memory module to see if the RAM on the accelerator is defective or if the accelerator ram module is defective.  

Try re-seating the cards, cleaning the contacts.

Accelerator seems to be working grand. The memory module still won't register any RAM. Each module is of a different make. And I can't find the SIMM size by typing in any of the chip numbers.

If I can find 128MB of new compatible RAM of all the same type, I'll see if I can't pick some up. Chances are though that the board is just being picky for now apparent reason. Everything else works great. It just sucks to have lost that much RAM.

I have a Radeon card coming, so I guess I can get some FAST RAM from that board or pick up a ZorRAM or something.


Can you try it with just a 4 mb stick from your motherboard ram.  The link I posted lists which socket to put it in.  If the memory card works then its the memory, otherwise try a different working 4 mb simm to make sure.

looks like it needs jumpers to be set for different RAM configurations.  There are diagrams on the hardware site, but I have a Mark 2 which is very different.

The site says:

"Bank 0 is closest to the connector. The largest SIMM must always be placed in bank 0, with the second largest in bank 1 and so on."
