So I bought an AT&T 6386 WGS... It came with 4MB of RAM on the memory card. I want to upgrade to 16mb. I can't find the service manual online for 6386 but, the 6386 is really just a rebadged Olivetti M380 and I did find the service manual for that. Being a old vintage computer, naturally there a DIP switches to mess with. The manual has this "formula" for setting the DIP switches depending on the memory type and capacity. I think I have it right, but the PC is not booting up. It powers on and beeps, but nothing on the screen. The manual says you need 1Mx9 SIMMs x 16 for 16MB. I bought 4 kits of 4 x 1M 30PIN 9 chip parity SIMMs from Memory Master on eBay (Item 163030966355). They are Fast Page Memory that I know the 6386 supports. Does someone know the correct settings for this or offer any insight as to why it's not booting. Also... I've removed all other cards except for a Paradise 256 VGA card?
