After a fun saturday morning spent with the chip puller, I have discovered a few other things about my parity problem. * Switching ram chips does not help the problem * Running the system at slow speed (4.77) shows no errors I am using v2.03 of Brown Bags RAMTEST to check my memory, booting up with Zenith DOS 3.3 I have a NEC v-20 CPU. Another symptom of this error is that XCOPY dies messily when copying files with the /v VERIFY option enabled. Without verify it runs fine, but with verify on a large (~300K) file it crashes to monitor or reboots. I'm going to swap the 8088 chip back in to check as soon as I get the chip back. *** Memory Parity Failure *** is starting to bug me. Why would 8Mhz cause chips (the board ?) to fail? (Why don't I just sell this machine.....) banshee@ucscb.UCSC.EDU
