[Duo2400] Re: pb1400 RAM issues

[dylan]

Mad Dog-

wow! what an idea! that seemed to have done something... i no longer get the
sad mac, or the "problem with memory" message on bootup-- best of all the OS
(7.6, 9.1, linux) is reporting the correct amount of RAM (48MB)..

wonder what this really means though... the apple memory module didn't want
to play nicely with the others..  ?

i will have to document this, and put it online somewhere -- it probably
isn't the first time it has happened...

thanks a lot!
