Hi.
I have a very nice fully recapped SE/30 upgraded with OWC 128MB of Ram, 2GB SCSI2SD, Farallon RJ45 card, Rom-Inator2...
Before upgrading to 128MB of Ram I had "only" 32MB and ran APD 1.1.3 with absolutely no issue at all, passing all the tests.
Now, with a full 128MB, APD does not want to test the logic board anymore and says something like "fail to test logic board, create report and consult the manual..."
Do you guys think that the 128MB of Ram, which were not supported at the time are the cause to the fail or is there an issue with the logic board?

First step would be to remove the 128MB of RAM and run the test again. If it passes, it's probably an issue with the RAM. If it still fails, it's probably something else.
Does the computer otherwise still work with the 128MB installed?

I have a vague recollection of the APD failing if you installed 128MBs of RAM because it isn't a valid configuration I think someone else here posted about it a while back, but I'm probably remembering wrong. If it passes with 32MBs, the motherboard is fine. Something you could try is only using a few of the new RAM chips at a time and run the test, see if it passes. If it eventually passes with all of them, then APD is probably just faulting over an unexpected amount of RAM.

I wonder if it might be the RAM slots? Can you put the good RAM in the suspect slots and test again?
