I have tried a number of times to read what the BIOS number is. I have been unsuccessful, either it flashes by at a point I cannot see or it just dose not show it. I tried to pause the screen, as suggested, however I was still unsuccessful.
When I take the computer out of its case I can see, on the motherboard, a label. It reads: Replaced with Compaq spare SPS-BD. 1394 motherboard 166049 – 101.
The original RAM chip is PC100 128MB. The one I am tried to install is PC133 256MB.
When Sir Krustin suggested that the same size chip must be in both slots I considered that the web site indicated that the computer could take 384MB of RAM; If I understand correctly the only way to obtain that would be with two chips, one 128MB the other 256MB. As such, I have tried to install both chips, in both slots. Either way it did not work. As for having both chips installed, I would be happy with just the one chip, the 256MB chip. I am so confused.
