Emax

Hi John.Thanks for your reply.I have one more question.
How do I know if the daughterboard still has the memory
installed.Chances are that the former owner has been taking it out.Cause
there are a lot of empty spaces on the
board John.If you know what I mean?!!
The problem is that I dont know how it should look like if there really are
memory attatched to the board.
I have tried to fasten it but there is still only 1Mb reported.
If you could in an easy way guide me thru this I would be
more than happy.I would be madly happy.

Thanks again.
Hans.
