We have just added a 16MB Ram chip to an LCIII.  On reboot the LC does its
usual 'dong' note, and then proceeds to do 4 chimes going up in scale,
followed by four notes going down in scale.  The screen remains black and
the mac does not go any further.

Removing the chip and putting back the 8MB chip that was there enables the
mac to start up ok.  This is the second 16MB chip we have tried so I do not
think it is a faulty chip.

The label on the chip says 16MB SIMM 72pin, 70NS, which I think should work.

Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks in advance

Andy
