Is any one still reading this group? I aquired a ridge at our scrap sale. It is one of the units in the smaller cases, not the larger ones about the size of a furnace. It sort of works. It falls into the debugger when I boot it. Debugger complains about a parity error. After several trips through the debugger to kill processes that run into bad memory the thing will even run a select set of programs. The bouncing balls program works great. Can any one tell me how to map addresses given by the debugger to chips on the memory boards. I am not sure what model it is but will find out if there is any one who may be able to help.

The system you have is a Ridge 32S ( a single users system). I had one at my desk for a month or two before it crashed. Mine had the same symptoms yours is having now. I looked through all the documentation to find a solution. It recommended I insert a certain floppy to check the memory. I was unable to locate a copy of the floppy it requested. Good luck!
