yes, memory wires should be oscillating, back and forth betw 0 and 5
volts.  this is not floating; floating implies not connected.

re: your other DL probs, usually, it is a bad connection on the PCB.
try continuity checks on the memory subsystem.  this is about 30 to 40
connections, a bit painstaking, but often it's not a bad chip, but a
bad connection on the PCB.

Fred-
      You left it unclear in an explanation to another letter.  You were
answering the fellow from India as to what readings one should see when usein • g
a logic probe on the memory chip.   You said that if one was stuck at 1 or
zero-it might be indicative of a bad chip.

Should be floating then-around 2.2 volts with power applied?  Both red and
green lights on when useing a logic probe?

Also-I am still having downloading problems-I have had a HB that has always
worked. Now it will not take a DL.  I have replaced all the cables.  I have
ordered a new Maxamchip, & the three memory chips.   Had I not spent the
amount of money I did on the HB to begin with- I would have long ago given up • .
