Hello
My 560X has started going to the self-test screen on start-up.
I get the IBM/Thinkpad graphic then
097728 Kb OK
16 301

I went through the self test and it seemed to freeze during the memory
test so I shut it off and pulled the 64 Mb RAM chip (Kingston
KTM760x/64) after which I got
the IBM/Thinkpad graphic then
032192 Kb OK
16 301

So I don't think the 64Mb RAM card is the problem.
Without the memory card it actually completed the RAM self test before I
lost patience.

Any suggestions? I think this is happening before WIN98se loads so it's
not a Windows problem (though my 98Lite WIN98se installation is getting
flaky, the recycle bin icon has started changing itself).

I've been using the 560x on am IBM dock but I tried the startup undocked
and got the same error.

I'm going to go see what Norton Utilities has to say, then maybe I'll
let the RAM test run overnight.

technology is the answer, what was the question?
