I grabbed the following message with SNIPPER from a cold boot of my '286:

===================[ Cut Here ]=================

HIMEM: DOS XMS Driver, Version 2.60 - 04/05/90
XMS Specification Version 2.0
Copyright 1988-1990 Microsoft Corp.

Installed A20 handler number 1.
I/O card parity interrupt at 026F:0342.
 Type (S)hut off NMI, (R)eboot, other keys to continue

===================[ Cut Here ]=================

If I hit [spacebar] everything seems to work just fine...It seems as if
I'm even allowed to use all 2 meg of my XMS (1648k available after a
ramdrive to hold command.com and a 384k SmartDrv disk cache).

I know a parity error is a problem with the chips.  We replaced the banks
though, and it works fine when I have the board configured as Expanded
(EMS) memory.  When I configure it as Extended (XMS) memory though, I 
get the above error.  What's wrong?  Is it something with the board, 
the chips, or just himem?

I don't particularly care about the error -- I still can use the memory
as far as I can tell -- but it's annoying that I have to hit a key to
get the computer to boot completely!  :-(
