Re: Damaged S1000

2009-04-27 by marber_mba

Thank's for the fast Answer,

i put all Card's, incl. an MuTec SCSI, out and tested all alone.
With the Original 2Meg Card in the very first Slot it Displays 1Mb free Memory, and with the 8Meg in the first only 4. And the 2Meg in the first and the 8Meg in the second Slot say's 5MWord free. :-(
I don't know if the Jumpers re-soldered, because i don't have put the Mainboard out. But the previsous Owner says, it has Work with 10Meg before. Once a Day after Turn on the Unit, it has Display the Half of the Memory.
