Can some kind Sun guru solve my problem? I have a 3/50. I installed an extra 4Meg on the daughterboard bringing the total to 12Meg. But when I boot, it still thinks I am just 8Meg. Is there a jumper or dip switch or something I need to tweak to make it realize that the RAM is there? Someone poked a 0xC into some low memory locations, but it had no effect. You can E-mail me directly, thanks. Jay Dresser, jdresser@tymnet.com

You have to change an eeprom setting or two. See the eeprom manual (PROM USER'S MANUAL). Depending upon what version of SunOS you are running you either can change things while SunOS is running or you have to take the machine down to the monitor level and modify the eeprom by hand. Check to see if you have a program called eeprom in /usr/etc. If it's there you can make the change while running SunOS. I'm not sure if you will then have to reboot or not.
