    I've been swapping modules in different slots and between the 5000/200
and the 240 almost all day and I now I am only having one problem with one
SIPP (MS02?) which did not go away in testing at least five times on both
machines so I know that one is bad, all the others appear good though.

    So now I have a 5000/200 with 32MB of RAM, Ultrix 4.5 on one RZ25L disk
and NetBSD 1.4.1 on the other; and a 5000/240 with 416MB of RAM, Prestoserve
1MB NVRAM card (not currently installed) and Ultrix 4.5/NetBSD 1.4.1. Both
have PMAGB-B's (HX) and one non-working PMAG-CA (PX) and a VS3100m30 w/25MB
of RAM running 1.4.1 as well. I'll talk about the PMAG-C next...

    Let me know if I can put these systems to any developmental/testing use.
(Ultrix compat./HX,PX) My bandwidth is limited to a 56k modem for the time
being, but either Cable modem or xDSL will be coming soon.

    Thanks for all your help Tohru and Simon both.

    Chris
