[net.micro] parity check 1

twersky@aecom.UUCP (04/26/84)

I have a IBM PC with two 320kb disk drives,256k and a monochrome screen.
I have been having a problem with Wordstar. In the middle of everything
the screen goes blank and on the top left hand corner of the screen it says
parity check 1 . The only way to get rid of this is to turn of the computer.
HELP!!!!!!!!!  It usually happens when I am editing an already made file.
Could it be a bad copy of Wordstar or is it the machine. What does parity
check 1 mean anyway????????

I will appreciate any advice on the matter. Thank you in advance,

P.S. please send all responses to  [user twersky at aecom]

Would someone knowing what parity check 1 is please either
send me a response or post it to the net.

I encountered the same problem running the Lotus 1-2-3 tutorial,
seemingly while it was doing a disk read.
