- In my case, I had 4Mb of 9 chip SIMMS that worked fine. 4Mb of 3 chip
- SIMMS didn't. The 3 chip SIMMS were OK (tested on another m/c).

- What it was in the end was that my AMI BIOS had to be set for "AT Style"
- refresh, rather than what it called "Concurrent" (No relation...). Now
- its fine with 8Mb. I gather its also called "hidden" and "slow". It
- seems that things may be running a little bit slower, but at least its
- running well.
