Darren,
I get this message with my 2400. It started when I installed Ram Doubler. It
only happens when I turn on the computer with Ram Doubler turned off. In my
case it is because I turned off Virtual memory to use Ram Doubler. It
doesn't seem to cause a problem, so I don't worry abou ti.

> "The built-in memory test has detected a problem with cache memory. Please

> The computer seems to work OK despite this, although it now fails to
> recognize the external floppy drive. I tried reseating the extra 32 MB RAM
> card (per the Apple phone help suggestion), to no avail. I also
> reinitialized the 1.3 hard drive (zeroing all data, per Apple's suggestion),
> but it still won't let me upgrade. So I've got a cache problem, a refusal
> to upgrade, and a ghost floppy drive. Has this happened to anyone? Any
> suggestions? I'm probably going to get gouged taking it in for service.
> I'm wondering if it's even worth it.
