Ever had a Gorf RAM board so bad the game wouldn't boot?
I'm going through and fixing Gorfs... I burned a copy of Mark's test ROM (thanks Mark!), and am working through these bad RAM boards. One of them is so bad, however, that it prevents the machine from booting! If I have it plugged into either slot, even with Mark's test ROM in there, the machine displays a black screen, and the Space Warrior lamp comes on. There is a buzzing sound in the speaker.
So, I clearly have a chip with a stuck address line or something, and I'm about to go probing, but I just figured I'd see if anyone else had ever run into this before.
