Hi Matt,
><sniiiiiiiip>

>> My problem: the memory i plug in is not recognised, and the memory is fine

>> Whooop deeee whooop; a 68040 that can't even perform properly

I know. :) Now if you read the problem :)), the board doesn't recognise /any/
memory plugged in!! Das ist nicht gut! (I'm going slightly mad, I know!!
And you know why, 95% of my upgrades have caused me *hell*!! :)
>Try plugging some RAM in the PPC board as well.
I have. :) A 32Mb and 16Mb SIMM, individually and both. The 32Mb SIMM only
fits in the non angled one though.
>Or hold down ESC while booting for the secret menu and fanny with the settings
there.
Problem. Esc is for SCSI boards. The latest flash will give
every BPPC owner that, problem: it won't update the bloody flash ROM. Argggggghhhhhhhhh!
Sob! :( That black bin liner is looking mighty at home with the heap of metal
in my room...
:)
>If you didn't get a manual, let me know and I'll scan mine for you.
That's very kind, but I did get a manual. :) I appreciate you help though,
any more ideas?
>P.S. just read todays mails before sending this and I think you are already
doing this. The offer of the manual is still open though but I can't see anything
of any use in it.
Ahhh right; and I guess you'll now see that I've tried everything you suggested.
:)
All the best,
Nick.
