Nope. Won't boot without RAM.
Mine has some PNY and some Siemens (IIRC) in it, so I'm pretty certain
generic 36-bit works.

I've got one of these that I used extensively
a
few years ago (superceded by AS300 4/266 and
then a C*q DS10) that won't do anything at all.
No SRM console comes up.
So, I'd be grateful if anybody could answer
these questions:
1. How are the 8 slots populated, normally?
I can't remember if the order is top to bottom but you need to populate
in the order 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 2. Should I see
the SRM even with no memory, or
memory incorrectly installed?
I doubt it - SRM needs memory to run in. 3. Is
"54-21246-FA" (2MX33) DEC memory AS2000
memory or AlphaStation 200 memory? (I've had a
few of those around the shop over the years).
I suspect any 36 bit true parity memory will work but
don't blame me if the smoke escapes :-)
