A friend of mine has 2 computers. He recently moved 2 banks of 64-k chips from the PC(a 256k motherboard Big Blue, with an XT bios) to his turbo clone. The clone works fine, and has 640k in it now. Here's the problem... the PC now fails boot with the error message: 3001 201 Parity Check 1 We have set and reset the dipswitches on both the motherboard and the AST SixPak. We also re-populated the SixPak to 384k. Still, the PC doesn't want to boot, or if it _does_ boot, Norton SI reports 512k of memory in 4 chunks. (0000-3000, 4000-6000, 7000-A000, and display memory from B000-B800) I would appreciate any ideas on how to proceed. The PC worked fine until my friend dug into it (that'll teach him to proceed without me ;-). E-mail responses, if you please, and I'll summarize any responses. (posting is fine, too, but I read my mail before I read news :-) Thanks in advance............. -- _R_o_y _M_. _S_i_l_v_e_r_n_a_i_l | UUCP: uunet!comcon!roy | "No, I don't live in an igloo!"
