I thought this was posted here before, but I cannot find
it. Also, a detailed scan of PC utilities only finds
RAM testers (in-situ) that test memory and provide a
map of actual suspect chip location seems to be only for
L/I/M EMS memory.
*What is needed is a 0 - 640K RAM tester/mapper*
I have some "phantom" RAM problems not caught by the PC
POST, causing parity errors at random. The memory
testers I have either do not find the problem, even after
hours of testing, or are worthlessly vague about location.
Can someone help me on this, I have pulled/shifted/replaced
dozens of chips so far. (A major improvement has resulted,
cut about 95% of errors, but a parity error on a large
file edit would tempt a saint to curse.)
thank you in advance!
