You know that the over-the-top connector used on the KA630 and
the KA65x are different? I don't know exactly what failure
you see if you use the KA630 OTP with the KA65x - but you may just
have found out!

It seems odd that a PSU could cause this problem and I'd be surprised
if *all* your memory boards are faulty (I've never found a dead one
even after they'd spent quite a while floating round the lab).
