I should say that the memory board is not _completely_ whack -- it is passing the rather thorough MAINDEC ZQMC, a 0-124k exerciser with multiple pattern/sequence tests which also kicks around the KT11.

That doesn't rule out the possibility that there is a lurker in there not covered by the DEC diags.  But if there is, its something subtle...
