[rescue] Sparc 20 Diag question

[Steve Hatle]

And the verdict is bad RAM in slot 0. Moved things around and the 
machine came right up.

I'll have to dig around and see what other DIMMs I have to fill this guy 
up - minus the VSIMM which I'm going to put back in and play with, even 
though there's a CG6 in the machine, and I have a few TGXs sitting around.

Thanks for the reminder on cooling for the SM71s.B  I have 8 SM81s in my 
SS1000E. It's a lot of fun :-)

I have SM81s in mine but there is an extra fan in there and few other cards.
