[TT030] what SIMMs for 4/16 MB TT-RAM expansion?

Hi,

I recently bought a  standard 4/16 MB TT-RAM board manufactured by ATARI  on ebay.

 

According to this: http://www.geocities.ws/SiliconValley/Peaks/6320/ard/help/ttram01.htm

 

"TT RAM chips must be 30 pin 1Mb or 4Mb x 8 non-parity nybble mode SIMMs.

The 8 means 8 chips on each memory card, NOT 9 or 3 they will not work."

 

I set up the expansion correctly for 16 MB and have 4 x 4 MB SIMMs (but 3 chips on each).

But while the first TOS test indicates 16 MB of TT-RAM is detected and fine, later when using machine can I randomly get 2, 4 or even more bombs with TT-RAM attached. I've also run a test-program for TT-RAM (attached by someone on this forum) and it screams (in German! :D ) with thousands of errors...

 

Is the RAM organization on SIMMs to be blamed (3 chips on each, not 8 )?
