I have an IBM-PC with 256K at home and I'm getting a bunch of
memory errors. I would like to know where the failing memory
chip(s) is located in the mother-board. After running the
diagnostic program to test the 256K of memory I'm getting the
following error messages:
				04F1
				045A
				0402
				0429

I would really appreciate if somebody can tell me what these errors
mean so I can decide whether to try to fix it by myself or take
the computer to an authorized IBM dealer. I would hate to pay a lot
of money for something as simple as replacing a memory chip (if I
know which one(s)).
