You need to find some way to test the RAMs individually. I usually
find another board or machine that uses the same RAMs so I can swap
them one at a time.

Hi Bryan,
Dave,
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?
Cheers,

This one doesn't boot up. :( It starts up
for a little bit, then the power
light flashes a # of times. I have googled for POST error messages but
could not find out what this meant.
Go here:

And download HARDWARE.ZIP - this contains HARDWARE.TIP which is a large
text file that contains a lot of information about the startup LED flashes
and screen colors.
