I've got a Seanix Viper Board, Rev. 2.0 on the bench today, and thankfully it wants to live.

I'm getting a repeated long beep, which Award BIOS beep code documentation tells me is RAM related.

POST analyzer gets to Code C6, which is described as "External Cache Size Detection"
Previous code is C1 -- "OEM Specific - Test to size on-board Memory"

(I have one of the Chinese post cards, on halt, left display reads C6, right display reads C1 -- I believe I've got it in the correct order that the right display is the previous code and the left display is current code)

I've tried a few different pairs of SIMMS in the board with no change in results.

System behaves the same with or without RAM installed, and with or without the COAST module installed.

This board doesn't have a lot of documentation on the internet, and nothing on The Retro Web (yet! I'm going to photograph and upload)

Any thoughts are appreciated 😀
