The 380 has memory on the motherboard, and a model-specific
daughtercard for expansion memory.
It seems reasonable that the Pro bus (I/O card) expansion memory should
work in both models, but I don't have any to try that.
If you have a 380 complaining about memory and it has a Pro bus memory
card installed, I'd suggest removing that card to see if it's happy with
stock motherboard memory.

Just reading your reply again. Are you saying it has enough memory on the
board, without using a daughter board? I did see lots of memory on the main
board, but assumed it was video memory. I did try removing the daughter
board altogether at one point, but it still didn't work. :-(
I wish I had a logic analyser.
