PDP-11/23 deskside machine

I guess I must have just gotten lucky to get it to boot those two times. This is what the machine does <most> of the time. KDF11B-BE ROM V0.9 512KB MEMORY 9 STEP MEMORY TEST STEP 1 2ERR RAP 173714 @ Does this mean that the ram card is bad at a given location? If so, there is no reason I can't replace the ram on the card with a desoldering iron. I would like to socketize the ram but I don't think there is enough room between cards to make that happen so I'll have to solder them directly to the board and pray I have no more failures. Is the above 6digit number the location of the failed bit/byte of memory? -- ----------------------------------------------------------- Jeffrey S.
