- Most third party boards were designed for the IIP.
- The fit in the IIIP memory slot is MUCH tighter. Sometimes subtle movement
- of the printer's case can make a working memory board fail dur to shifting.
-
- My approach has been to use a contact enhancer like Tweek on the edge
- connector, and to insert the RAM card into the printer very VERY
- =V*E*R*Y= =H*A*R*D= until it returns no errors.
- ^^^^^^^

- Also, be sure you're using 80 ns chips.
