I got a couple of laptops in a recent load of computers
and would like to use one with a Delorme GPS I have,
so I don't have to use my nicer HP in my truck.
They are both Compac laptops, the older one works
but has no usb for the gps. They are both setup with Win ME.
The newer has usb,but doesn't boot, it comes up with this;
CPU=Intel Mobile Pentium III 800E MHz
640K System RAM Passed.
159M Extended RAM Passed.
Serial Presence Detect (SPD) Unavailable-Memory Speed Unknown
SPD is required for reliable operation. System Halted.
Does anybody know if this is from bad memeory sticks? Or some
other simple problem. My computer experience is mainly on tearing
them apart, not working on them to get them working.
If there is an easy answer to the problem that would be cool,
but I can't find anything online about it.
Thanks. Jim
