My most recent failure: plug in a drive to the (VIA) motherboard's
second IDE controller and RAM chips above a specific size abruptly cease
to work in one, and only one, of the motherboard's sockets (hw ignoramus
here doesn't know what kind of socket this might be except that it's one
you plug RAM chips into and it goes around in packs of three).

Gah.
