Greetings. I was wandering if anyone has seen a stand-alone RAM tester that would verify most of the DIPs (and, optionally, SIMMs) that are used in IBM clones and add-on cards? We have a number of InBoard/386's that have memory parity errors as well as a bunch of RAMs that were left over from "swapping" to find those nasty memory errors. The budget is around $250. I would appreciate an address or number to call. I will post a summary in 2 weeks and keep a copy in my archives. Take care. P.S. Also, (not sure if this is the right group for this) I'm getting "Memery parity error. System Halted" from MS-Windows 3.1 (just installed it) and (as soon as I hit the reset button) the self-check beeps when it gets to 128K (and, sometimes, on 192K too). Which chip would 128K be? My 486/25 has 1MB (0K) DIPs and rest (8MB) in SIMMs. Maybe just software? I can almost get it to crash reliable (gawd, what am I saying ;-) I'm going to swap SIMMs (1 to 4 & 4 to 1) and see if this is still a problem... I'm running "CPU24" right now - tell ya results in 24 hours :-) -- _______________________________________________________________________________ "The Force will be with you, always."
