Entire system worked fine last weekend. Went to upgrade the main Macintosh RAM Simms from 8mb modules to 32mb modules (to bring total to 72).
Upon restart, PC Card would no longer start up. Just a black screen. I tried reseating it's RAM Simm (16mb), and when I restarted I still had the same issue. However, when it the computer was running the entire DOS card felt hot and the RAM simm memory modules felt extremely hot. The new 32mb Simms on the Macintosh logic board felt like they were only a few degrees above room temperature.
Any ideas what went wrong, and if it is fixable?
Edited to add: Macintosh side still works fine.
