He to told me to double the memory in the two computers by populating all the empty holes on the memory boards. Fortunately I started with only one memory board. All the holes were full of solder so I tried to clear the solder before putting in the chips. It seemed that every time I touched the soldering iron to the board, any nearby traces immediately lifted and rolled up. I never finished the first board and I never started the second board. Up until then I thought I knew how to solder. -- Richard Loken VE6BSV, Systems Programmer - VMS : "...underneath those Athabasca University : tuques we wear, our Athabasca, Alberta Canada : heads are naked!" ** rlloken at telus.net ** : - Arthur Black
