I have a 4d/25 which has 16 mbytes of ram in 1 mbyte simms. This has proved to be insufficient, so i bought 4 Kingston 4 mbyte simms from a distributor here (specifically, what Kingston calls KSG 1600/HU). Can someone tell me which of the 16 slots i should use for these simms? After a few trials, the best i could manage was to put the 4 mbyte simms into slots 1,3,5,and 7 in the top row of slots, and the 8 1mbyte simms in the bottom row of slots. "best i could manage" means that the console comes on, and draws the box, and says Running power-on diagonostics Then after a while it beeps, and then seems to hang, still displaying the message about running diagnostics. As an aside, is there a way to get the system to display a bit more information about what it is doing as it starts up? Like Suns do, or even Mips machines? Thanks for any help you can provide.
