- instalation the 3000 ran fine except once i moved a window or tried to
- change my prefs ect. the machine locked up, mouse would not move.
- ok, was told that becouse the ram on the 040 was 70ns that there was a
- conflict so i pulled all the ram on the motherboard and the system booted up
- only
- to have the same problem. so then i was told to upgrade to rev 7 ramsey
- well today i inserted the ramsey booted up only to find the system giving
- me a red screen and not booting, i rechecked to make sure the chip was
- inserted correctly (flat notch against flat corner) and found everything
- ok. so is there anyone out there that can help me with this headache
- (there is no one in my area that can help). thanks
