Wow :-) Thanks for the responses, everyone!

We're downloading the aforementioned snapshot right now (dialup connection,
unfortunately) and we'll try Paul Kranenburg's advice as soon as we can
get it to come up even to the boot monitor.

As of now, it's not even coming up that far; we tried rearranging the
simms, and now no way of arranging them works.

It seems pretty obvious now that we have a memory issue. I can't find
any docs on how the memory slots on the Ross system board are organized;
can anyone summarize, or point us to a good web page?

We'd be happy running with less than our 128 megs; my thinking is to
just try for one of the 32-meg simms in slot 0, and try all of them to
establish at least one good simm. The problem is we don't know which
end slot 0 is at, or if there are any other rules about how they need to
be arranged.

Any thoughts?

Thanks again!!
