[net.unix-wizards] mcr: errors

We have recently been having a rash of memory controller errors
pop up on the console:

	mcr0:	soft ecc: addr 1265 syn 75

I know that we have a bad chip running around somewhere, but I'm
at a loss as how to find it.  Is there a way to track down the
chip from the above error?  If so, can someone mail me an inter-
pretation?  We are running 4.2BSD on a VAX750 with 5 MByte of 
memory.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

				Thanks,
					Barry

I couldn't get through the mail system so....

You want to run the cache/memory diagnostics. I think it is tape #5, test
"eckam". Your DEC field rep should be able to tell you for sure.
