Paul,

I removed all the memory boards in the system and it still bug checked.
Luckily the machine kept running to get output from ANALYZE/ERROR/SINCE. The
text is at the end of the mail (you never know how its lay out ends up).
Address 0002B468(X) logs several problems. Which sits in the lower 8 MB
on-board memory. Is it possible to disable or remove the lower 8 MB?
