 << File: rhoffman.vcf >> We got a similar message when we tried to install
some new memory about three
weeks ago.    If I remember correctly,  the stall on TEST 704B may mean that
slot 4B is where the problem is.     HP tech. ended up replacing all our
memory
as well as the memory expander and that took care of our problem.   From our
recent experience,   your initial feeling is probably right.
