I have an A3000, with a Watford (I know, I know) 2 Meg upgrade, and an Oak SCSI card. So shoot me... Until recently, all was fine, but a few days ago a few things stopped working. Long programs stopped compiling, long files stopped loading (Abort on data Transfer, somewhere in Module area, FileCore in use), and large RAM disks stopped working. It turns out that all memory works fine, except for just 16k, I think, right at the beginning of the 2nd Meg. This is really (and I mean REALLY) annoying me at the moment, as a program I'm writing has decided it won't fit in the memory I've available. (I'm using the bottom Meg for stuff like fonts, sprites and system workspace, and the top Meg-16k for working with. I have a cunningly placed RAM disk.) So, to the question ... Presumably the Watford memory upgrade has 8 1Megabit RAMS. (Well, I know it has 8, I'm assuming the 1-bit...) How likely is it that 16k (1 page) in all of these has gone for a walk? I'm guessing that it's far more serious, and that somehow my MEMC's gone wrong (to put it mildly). After all, a RAM test comes up with an 'Abort On Data Transfer'... Any ideas, help, or words of comfort would be much appreciated ... Bob Batachara bab@uk.ac.ic
