Re: Machine Check when booting dqa0?

Hi Andrew,
        I tried booting from IDE immediately after the power-on, but got
the same result every time I tried.
        The exact machine error is a "660 Machine Check," which from my
searching indicates a memory error. Can anyone verify this, and if so is
there any way to determine if the problem is board-related or
memory-related without swapping the RAM around? I don't have too many EDO
ECC SIMMs laying around.
        Also, is there any place (besides ebay) to find something like a
UP1000 Alpha motherboard for a reasonable price?

Thanks,
Josh
