Here's a question that is apparently stumping all the experts out there… I just purchased the dkb 3128 memory expansion board for my 4000/040. In the manual it warns that the memory board will not work correctly if the CPU card is rev 3.0 instead of rev 3.1 or higher. Sure enough, I have a CPU card rev 3.0! And sure enough, the computer says the expansion board is defective — just like dkb said would happen with rev 3.0. After contacting a repair facility and being told that they did not have the spec sheet on the revision, the repair person suggested I contact dkb and have them fax the repair person the info on the revision. I contacted dkb, but they do not have any documentation on the revision. They said that they thought it was a major board revision. However, they did say they recalled reading about a "work-around" a few years ago. The person at dkb said that they thought that I might be able to find it by looking for information on a fix for the "3640." I have not been able to find any such information. Does anyone out there know anything about this. It is very frustrating to have a memory expansion board and not be able to use it! Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. —Clinton— MSTie #873 (cruisin' on AutoPilot v1.80)
