- It *is* a TRAP 0002. I ran my RAM through some pretty heavy
- diagnostics and found no problems. I called IBM again, and they
- backed off from the position that RAM speed had to be faster
- than 80ns, but he still seemed to think the problem was somewhere
- in the RAM. He took a bunch of info and is going to have another
- tech guy call me. I'll post the results of the call if anyone
- is interested.
