1209.0. "Got it working!!!" by KAOFS::H_SWAFFIELD (What's all this then...) Wed Nov 13 1991 14:11

	Hi,

	Okay, Got it working finally. It cost me big time I'll tell ya
	but, at least I finally got 1 meg on my ST. The error statement
	I previously wrote basically means that chip D11 is bad. On the
	Rev "C" module, counting from the left and starting at zero, you
	count 11 chips.  This program seems quite functional as a testing
	tool for memory. 

	The reason it cost me so much was, the purchase of 16 256x1
	rams (80 ns) was $40.00 then I bought 2 more. the time spent
	on this was about 30 hours of installation and troubleshooting the
	problems. and the long distance phone call to Willie Brown at
	supra. We talked about the ATARI and the problems I had for about
	15 min. I live in Canada, and Supra is in the Mountain time zone
	(2hrs diff) and of course the call was made at PRIME TIME long 
	distance rates.

	I figure though, that I saved about $150.00 doing it myself.
	There is a guy up here that will do the upgrade for $200.00, but
	all he can guarentee is that it will work once you get your ST
	back.

	Thanks Jeff for your comments, They sounded very reasonable for
	t/s this problem. I feel like an expert now. (SORTA) :-)
