Hello Gordon...

Well, the simms are fine (as far as I can tell) as I have interchanged
them with another system of mine, and the problems remained....
In terms of QAPLUS, well, I tried that, but since the program was made
in 1990, it cannot seem to work on the memory tests (on BOTH computers)
The harddrives, I have rebooted my computer with a clean DOS bootdisk
and ran Thunderbyte v8.00 on it and found nothing on both drives...
Sharing I/O port addresses?? I don't think that's the problem as when
these cards were in the old system (now my other system) they worked
perfectly fine and I didn't change anything on them...
Chipset... well, that's a possibility, as the manuals are never well
written, nor explanitive enough to fully let the person know what they are
doing...
