Comes back with 0xFF. Hit loop and it starts to wander all over creation.
From highest to lower probability, based on my experience. YMMV:
1) bus fight with ROM or I/O bus 2) bus transceiver(s) bad 3) genuine RAM problem 4) I/O control latch problem 5) incorrect clock phasing or enable signal threshold between the even and odd RAM banks 6) other
Any ideas on why ram would fail this way?
They reportedly could suffer physical damage if the -5V (or was it the +12V) was not properly supplied. Not sure the exact failure mechanism was at the die level.
