Try swapping other Vector RAMs too. The 2nd time I had a bad one I seem to remember it didn't diagnose the right chip...

To try and track down the problem I ran the self test and I heard a low tone on the 6th indicating a bad RAM at 4p, after swapping with another working RAM, ran test again same problem showed up bad RAM at 4p. I swapped 3 chips in all and each time #6 beep/boop would indicate 4p being bad. So figuring problem was elsewhere I got the trusty meter out and ran continuity from each pin of 4p to all the other 5 RAMS, all tested fine, pin 18 of 4p RAM goes to 2K pin 6 and that checked ok too, even changed the socket to make sure it wasn't flakey. Anyone have any thoughts on what is going on with the board?
