(I wish) I know one manufactuer in which there top of the line computer dosen't have parity checking. Also, the machine is not a cheap $100 machine, it is a XENIX based multiuser machine. Have you people guessed it yet ?? Well if not, then here is the answer: TANDY (who else) Yes, the TANDY-6000 XENIX based multiuser based micro dosen't support parity checking. In fact I have been told that the runtime core dosen't support it, even though there is additional sockets on the board for the chips... Well since I own of of theese beasts I figured I would put in my two cents.. -- Sincearley, Howard D. Leadmon Fast Computer Services PATH: ..cp1!tekline!howardl
