Hmmm, I suppose that confirms my card has an issue. I'll see if there is physically anything obviously wrong with it.
Did you use cream or liquid for the retrobrite?
BTW, looking at the picture of your board, if you notice, your board seems to say "p2164-20 or hm50256-20" next to the ram, which suggests it should be able to take 256k ram chips in the first bank as-is.
I located my ST10 card. I put it into my IBM 5160 (IBM XT). No cables connected to it. Shortly after the 5160's POST completed its memory count-up, the ST10 displayed "ST10 v2.4", then about 45 seconds later, the ST10 displayed "1701 (04)". I was then prompted by the 5160's POST to press the F1 key to continue.
45 ohms?
That means a 111 ma draw on the 5 volt line--that's not unreasonable for a hard disk controller.
