Ok, now I have a little nagging worry.

Whenever I test my LUCAS board, it either works or it fails on boot
with the green screen.

Now I realize that this is supposed to mean I have bad ram.  Obviously
I don't, since nothing like that happens without LUCAS.  Should I
be worried, or is it just that the system is picking that particular
time to die on bootup.  I should mention that I have a Spirit Inboard
in there too, which is why I left that $C00000 stuff in above.

Just curious.
