Well, I am too lazy to open my SAM and look, but... (On the 256K Sams at least) there is a small square-ish hole in the middle of the metal base-plate (the underside of the case). This hole has a metal cover screwed over it, with the computer's serial number printed on. This was designed to allow access to the 2nd 256K memory chip, so that upgrading to 512K doesn't require removing the whole case. (At least, that is my understanding, I haven't actually done this.) So if your SAM has a hole in the base-plate, and if there is a chip behind that hole, then I guess it is faulty. -- James Gasson
