Hi all,
Just saved one of these 1993 vintage PC's from being scrapped.
It runs OK except for a curious problem with it's four 72 pin SIMM memory
slots.
Slots 1 & 3 detect any 4M or larger SIMM as 4M.
Slots 2 & 4 don't detect any SIMM at all!
So the maximum total memory detected is limited to 8M.
The manual seems to indicate that in the 4/33, all the slots should be able
to use SIMMs of >4M & the diagnostic disk doesn't indicate any problems.
Any ideas?
Regards,
Mark.
