I recall that you said that this system was labeled defective (from your 
earlier post)...perhaps you're simply confirmed the original tech's 
assessment of the system after installing the RAM.  What are the BASIC ROM 
chip identification numbers and what slots do you have them installed?  I 
will compare with what I have.  Our P500's were probably produced in the 
same week and should have the same chips.
