While running Turbo C++ my machine kept getting a memory parity error.
Memory diagnostics didn't find the error. I set a trap on the NMI
interrupt handler entry, then when the error occured again I checked
ports F4H, F5H, F6H, and F7H for errors (technical manual 15-14). F7
showed 11110111 which implies an error in Bank 3 of the 4th card (of 4
1Meg cards).

So my question is how are the banks laid out on the
386/16 memory card?

    +-IIIIIIIIIIIIII-IIIIIIIIIII-+

Drawn from memory. 4 banks, TL, TR, BL, BR.


Any suggestions on how to better isolate the offending chip.
I usually start swapping chips around, but it often takes
2 to 3 hours to find the bad(?) chip ;-(
