Larry, Yeah, I guess making sure they're both lined up the same way would be important, else I'll be using the board as a rather nifty, if somewhat expensive, serving tray at my next party! Really though, it's a good idea and since Dean Brown has given me something to go on, that might be the only way to isolate the offending little bugger. With the rather limited info I provided, Dean has narrowed it down to one of 16 chips, which is a hell of a lot better than one of 64 chips! The only thing I was concerned about is if the memory allocation routines are the same on the 500 as they are on the 2000. If they are then it's no problem, but if they're different then I'll have to test the board in a 2000. I know it's not the fault of my 500 this time, but, it's really been somewhat of a nightmare trying to expand this thing. The hardware situation for the 500 is very limited in selection, and trying to find the product you've decided on is next to impossible. My advice to anyone is that if there is the remote possibility that you'll want more than 1 meg or that you'll want a Hard Drive, get a 2000. -Jay
