I had a similar message but at a different address in my Gataway 2000 386/33 after I added 4Mb RAM. What was interesting was that the message was always there when booting OS/2, never under DOS 4.01, and there was a single memory error indicated by the memory diagnostics. After removing the suspected memory chip, the diagonostic error disappear but OS/2 kept complaining at boot-up. OS/2 alway ran fine afterwards. After getting a replacement memory board, I discovered that one of the extra chips was inserted upside down. After putting it back, everything was just fine. However, I lost my faith in DOS ability to discover parity errors. Perhaps it does it good only up to 640k! Ignacy Misztal University of Illinois Please mail only to: ignacy@uiuc.edu
