I'm looking for pointers to a memory testing program that can be looped
to run indefinitely- I have several machines here with the occasional  
dreaded `parity check' error.  These errors are hard to find because they're
transient.  Ideally the program should tell where it found the error to
aid in pinpointing the chip that's upset.

I assume IBM itself has something on their diags disks of version three or
so, but I don't have anything that smart.  I can ftp, and am wondering if
something like this is available.

Please respond by e-mail with a quick note if you've beaten this problem;
it'd be appreciated!  Thanks.
