Hi, all! I am Stu Feld, the happy owner of a 755C (75MHzDX4/540MB HD). I recently decided to upgrade my TP to 20MB and purchased a 16MB memory card from my local authorized IBM dealer. The card is a Viking Components Platinum card (I5109/66G5109) and is parity memory. When I picked up the card, I brought my pad in and installed the card on the spot. When I tried to boot, 20096 KB Ok appeared, but the machine hung with the floppy drive LED lit. Hmmm... I then tried to run EZ-Setup by holding down the F1 key on powerup and I got 20096 KB OK 191FE and it hung without the floppy LED lit. I then tried a different card, thinking that possibly the card was bad, but with the same effect. Next I pulled the card out (started up fine) and ran EZ-Setup and disabled the parity check, thinking possibly the cards had non-parity memory. Restarted the machine, and all was OK still. Then, put back in the card. Now, it gave 20096 KB OK 191FE and hung without the floppy LED lit. I am at a loss as to what is going on, and I would appreciate any assistance. EZ-Setup gives the following info about the machine: BIOS 89G5214 Date 6/14/94 Model F8 Submodel 64 Revision Level 04 Power Management level 1.12 Setup Version 1.01 and several serial #s. Thanks, Stu Feld
