Centris Chimes of Death...persist!!

Just think, having a Quadra 950 in 1992 would be like having a Mac Pro today… except with more slots, more expandability, and on-board SCSI!

Centris Chimes of Death...persist!!

I replaced the RAM and the VRAM! The Centris now has 68mb of RAM and 1mb of VRAM.

But it still gives me the Chimes of Death! >:(

So if it's not the RAM and it's not the VRAM...what else could it be?

I cleaned the board, checked the capacitors, all looks pristine. Which doesn't mean that everything is, obviously. The Chimes are still there.

So I suppose the ROM would be my next investigative step.
