Swap some of the RAMs. If the bit moves, it is the RAM if it stays
the same, it is the decode.
It is most likely bad RAM.

Trouble is those chips aren't socketed, if I'm remembering right...
You are remembering right :(
I've ordered a bunch of sockets, when they (and a few other bits I need)
arrive, I'll get them desoldered & socketed.
This should be fun :\
Meanwhile:
The zany-video problem returned the next day, fuelling my belief that it
might be a thermal issue. However, a second prolonged memtest failed to
"fix" it the way it did before. In fact, memtest carried on working (still
reporting the same problem), wheras previously it crashed the machine at
various points during proceedings.
I've put it away for the time being - I need the bench space to work on some
other machines... but Ozzie will be back... I'd like to thank everyone who's
had some input into this thread - it's been very useful.
Cheers!
Ade.
