Well done, John! I know what it's like to fix a "tough dog." Just last
week I had a _Ms. Pac_ motherboard that turned out to have a bad 2114 RAM --
it kept cycling through the initial boot-up sequence. I had an external RAM
tester that said it was okay (of course), but I've seen this sneaky type of
thing happen before. Substitution nailed it.

You're right about mixing up different manufacturers of RAM chips!
Guaranteed to cause all manner of weird things to happen.
