Made things worse, if anything.   There's 96M in there in three
modules, and I've tried all sorts of combinations.   The machine had
run for over a year, probably without a reboot.  I've also reseated
the other couple of boards, and the disk connections.   I'm searching
the building for other memory modules of the same type....
