Thanks! But it looks like I have bad RAM... And
there are *32* RAM
chips soldered onto this board. Eek. So should I be planning to desolder
all of the RAM, solder in IC sockets and then keep swapping out RAM until
I get farther in the boot process?
One obvious comment. 'Bad RAM' means that the CPU couldn't read the same
value that it wrote. This _might_ be a RAM chip, it might be a RAM
controller problem, it might be a corroded trace to the RAM or to the
controller, or.... I'd want to do some more tests before blindly swapping
out RAM chips.
