I have a FDDI board in my Indy to get nice and fast 100 MBit/s
network...
As we are talking of Indys: What is the max. SIMM size for the Indy?
I had 8 x 32 MB in mine. I got some 64 MB SIMMs so I threw them into the
Indy to get even more RAM. But the Indy saw only 4 x 16 MB instead of 4
x 64 MB. The SIMMs worked well in a Indigo2 R10k but showed the same
problem in a Indigo2 R4k.
I ran across that same problem with some of my stuff, and it turned out that
in at least one case the issue wasn't so much the size of the ram as it was
the type -- if the board is expecting EDO and you put SDRAM in there (or
maybe that was the other way around?) you'll see just that sort of a
response...
Might be worth a shot, anyhow.
