I still can't get a 32MB memory upgrade to work. After running the
simmtester the memory (transcend) failed and the vendor accepted it back
and gave me a refund.

I then ordered memory from another vendor (hynix) and it also fails in the
same way.

Has anyone successfully done a 32MB memory upgrade to a TP365XD?
What brand memory, or where did you purchase it?
Is there something special that you needed to do for it to work?

Any help appreciated.

Thanks,
Bruce
