foo!
Well I did it. I attempted the fatal up grade. The good news is that I
did not fry my ST. She boots-up all right along with the 5 or six
accessories on the desk top [fonts,ramdisk,etc...]. The ramdisk says
~690+K byte available! Looks  good right!?

However a little after after boot-up,vertical lines appear up and down
across the whole screen!!! Sometimes the lines shift color as I move the
mouse. I can still run programs, copy files to and from the RAM disk,
but invariably, after a short time it crashes, lines and all. My
thinking is that one of the RAM chips is flakey. WHy?

	A. the vertical lines appear on every 8th pixel
					      ---------
	B. When pressing memory to its limit by coping whole disks into
	   the RAM disk, I can see the patterns of these vertical lines
	   change in exact sequence with the "clicks" of the floppy disk.

Questions: 1. Any suggestions on what else it might be? 
	   2. How does one test for a bad RAM chip?

		All comments will be MOST welcome. Thanks - Geoff
