Oh Wow, I didn't recognize your name until you said that! Sorry to hear
your having trouble with it. Remind me what cards are in it? I get the
PC and XT's I owned all mixed up.

I think I had an AST Six Pak Plus in it, if it's still installed, make
sure all the memory in that card is still seated too.

I remember having a hard time bringing the computer up one time. I
think all I did was push down on the memory chips to get it reliable
again. Since this much time has passed, it might be a good idea to pull
the socketed ram chips and clean them. I have heard of some Apple //
guys using some sort of cleaner on chips.... I think it was something
like TarnX, or something found at the grocery store. Maybe Tony could
recommend something, too.
