Since shipping my poor AT clone back and forth across America twice, it has
acquired to obnoxious habit of printing:

Parity error: segment not found
Press any key to continue

Its a DTK Bios :(.  These errors don't actually seem to affect anything,
other than the fact they interrupt programs that are currently running
(sometimes with disastrous effects)

Is there a way to fix this other than replacing all the RAM? its still under
warranty, but my dealer is 2000 miles away and UPS already broke it once..

thanks
