Thanks!
It looks like you are right, playing a little with the RAM banks,
finally got me errors, so at least one chip is dead.
Will take few days, until my replacements arrive, but now I
have 384k of RAM ;-)
Still crashes, but we will see. The original sockets on the board are cheap,
sometimes it feels that the chips are barely hanging in there :(
I seem to remember that every chip (even TTL) is socketed in the Sage. In
really nasty sockets.
Personally, I'd buy a few tubes of turned-pin sockets (machined pin?) and
replace the lot. It may take a little time now, but it will save a lot
more looking
for obscure faults!
