Here's a problem: I use MARK/RELEASE for quick and easy loading and unloading of my TSRs. But I find that releasing always causes a Parity check 2 message and causes my video card to go into 40-column mode. On some occasions the system hangs. ALL my hardware is grey/black market material, so I'm pretty much on my own here. Any idears?

In an earlier response someone said that the message Parity Check 2 80000 (S) is from expansion cards and not from system (or extended) memory. I've been getting this message every few days for the last 4 months. I thought it was my new game port or my new EGA card, but the problems continued after removing these cards. Does anyone know how I can diagnose this problem? Carl Kadie University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign ARPA: kadie@m.cs.uiuc.edu UUCP: uiucdcs!kadie CSNET: kadie@uiuc.csnet

I missed the discusion about parity also.
While runing ramtest, which was posted to comp.binaries.ibm.pc
my IBM-XT crashes with a:
PARITY CHECK 2
???????
error. I know this is a memory error, but how can I narrow it down.
Is it possible to narrow it down to a specific chip and just replace
that chip? What do the question marks stand for?
Thanks,
