Emax

I'd just like to report a success in using a chip burned with the 93C06N image I uploaded and a 93C46B chip.  At first I was sweating because it gave me a memory error on bootup and only showed me 6 or 7 Megs!  I just went back in and re-seated the memory expansion board and now all is well, whew!  That thing is really not supported too well on the underside of those connectors so you have to push harder than you'd probably like to.

Thanks to all that lead me in the right direction, and I hope someone else can save another EMAX with this.
