[net.micro] S100 memory problem

From: Dick <Mead@Usc-Eclb>
I have a QT Expandable+II, a 64k dynamic ram card, that exhibits
a strange problem. Perhaps someone came give some hints as to
mods I might try to fix it. I put it into a Z80 CP/M system, and
the system boots ok, files load and execute ok, memory tests run
ok, but it will not write to disk!!!, when I try to write to disk
nothing but hex FF's are written, which tells me that the memory
does not seem to respond to the signals the DMA disk controller sends
to read from memory. This happens on two different brands of DMA
floppy controllers, which seem to work ok with two other dynamic
memory boards..any input would be appreciated, except I won't
consider altering the disk controller, just the strange memory.
