[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Overrun Error writing to disk

and@servax0.essex.ac.uk (Holyer A) (01/05/90)

Guys, one of my users is suffering from a problem which I don't know
the PC hardware well enough to solve. Anyone got any ideas?

They're running a program to upload data from an external device (a
laser sensor to be exact) onto a floppy. No problem. *But*, uploading
onto the Winchester, they only get half-way through the transfer, at
which point they get:

"Parity or Overrun Error" then,

"Device I/O error in line 0 of module Beatin 0 Address 0F47:060A"

They've run this on a different physical machine and the same occurs
except the error has adddress 1117:060A


Any Ideas? I don't usually read this conference, so I'd be grateful if
you'd mail me directly.
