I'm trying to upgrade the memory of an old 386SX. The original chips are
256k DIPs and I have replaced them with 4 1meg 30 pin SIMMs. I've changed
all the appropriate switches etc., according to the manual but the machine
won't go. I get the 3 short beeps. I even tried changing the memory back to
the original setup but I'm still getting the 3 beeps. What do the beeps
mean and how can I fix it?
Any help would be appreciated.
Susan
