Julie,

A simple answer to your problem. PC100 will not work in the
Rhino 12 board.  The Rhino board will work only with EDO or
FPM RAM.  PC100 is not EDO or FPM.  Your PC66 is probably
FPM.

I have the Rhino 12 board in one of my systems, and have the
manual which states that PC100 will not work. The speed is
not the problem, but the electronics on the memory board is
not compatable with the slot.

Maybe you can find someone who will swap memory with you.
Most boards now can work with the PC100 but not EDO and
someone may have some EDO or FPM memory left over from an
upgrade.

HTH,

Doug
