So I finally got around to testing that replacement RAM I was sent for the modules that weren't working.
I ordered 4 16mb modules (which I know is quite a lot for a 486 but I wanted to have plenty for Win 95/98 or OS/2).
I am starting to wonder if this guy even knows what he is sending, because it looks like it was showing 16mb in one bank and 19mb in another bank. The only way I can figure that happened is I got two 8mb modules and two 16mb modules and one of the 16mb modules is partially bad...or the mother board will only address 35mb RAM. That seems a really odd amount to go with, so I'm going to assume one or more of the modules may be bad.
i'm going to try disabling the parity check and see if I can use the non parity RAM I received earlier, maybe that will work.
