I have a 2000HD and I just added some memory to the sockets on my 2091 HD controller (actually, I have had it in for a little over a month). The problem is that ever since I put the memory in, I have been experiencing Guru's rather a little too often. The gurus usually occur in memory at about 2300000 (give or take a zero). I got the 256k X 4 DRAMS (100 ns) from a company in CA... I did put the chips in myself.... I called myself being careful not to introduce any static discharge. How sensitive are these kind of chips to static charges? Would it take very much to ruin them? Also, I have switched some of the chips around in an effort to find the bad chip(s) (I thought that the gurus might occur somewhere else if I found it). Also, if anyone has put any chips into a machine before, is there any trick to doing it? Any help would be appreciated. Feel free to E-mail and I will post a follow-up to the net if one is warranted.... Thanks to all in advance..... --------------------------------////------------------------------------------- Michael D.

The address means little (it's merely the address of the task structure of the currently executing task when the exception occured). You should run the ramtest program which I think comes on the installation disk. -- Randell Jesup, Keeper of AmigaDos, Commodore Engineering. {uunet|rutgers}!cbmvax!jesup, jesup@cbmvax.commodore.com BIX: rjesup The compiler runs Like a swift-flowing river I wait in silence.
