(please pardon a new newsgroup poster) Hello, I have an IBM XT clone, w/ 640k (256 on motherboard, 384 on multifunctiocard, 8088) which is having memory chip problems. Every once in a while I get a parity error either at location 00222 or location 2FF08. I have narrowed the pproblem down to the bank where the bad chip resides (00222 - bank 0, motherboard 2FF08 - bank 2, main motherboard), but now, I am having problems locating the exact chip that is failing. Can anyone help me here? Thanks in advance. Dave davek@lakesys.lakesys.com -or- uunet!marque!lakesys!davek Snail-mail Dave Kraft 1952 North 84th Street Wauwatosa, WI 53226

If you'd kindly tell me the exact parity error, I could probably give you some
help.
What I mean is, I need something that reads "PARITY ERROR xxxx 201"
or the like.
You could probably get an error running the diagnostic program overnight.
Or have the the Advanced diagnostic do the system board and memory test
overnight (this method is much faster in getting results).
