Brandon, Sounds like you really do have a parity error. We have many XT's on campus that are running NCSA Telnet and FTP. What kind of XT's are they?? Do they all give the same error message at the same address?? Terry Sanderson Supervisor, Microcomputer Specialists University of Toronto Computing Services sanders@gpu.utcs.utoronto.ca

We are trying to run NCSA FTP and Telnet on a mixture of AT and XT clones. The ATs work ok but the XTs give PARITY ERROR xxxxx when FTPBin is used. Does NCSA FTP run on an XT, or is there some setting we have to make?

There is _no_ reason that NCSA FTPBIN should not run on an XT. (Speaking as an NCSA Telnet developer, I guess I should know. :^) I would be inclined to agree with Terry- you probably really DO have a memory parity error, or your XT doesn't like your Ethernet card, which is also quite possible. -Chris Wilson Programmer, NCSA PC Telnet cwilson@ncsa.uiuc.edu

I have used telnet (with ne-1000 cards) on xt computers quite a bit, and ftp occasionally. I never had any problems. You probably have a parity error. You might also check the memory configuration. If it is set wrong, you might be accessing memory that doesn't exist. I would reccomend using QA-PLUS, a commercial diagnostics program. You can use it to check for IRQ/DMA conflicts, and it does a very good memory check. If you have to do multiple passes, it can be a bit slow (overnight), but it will find problems.
