[comp.sys.next] Error EC81 ...

DWN2@psuvm.psu.edu (03/06/91)

NextAnswers hardware.442 says: "A DMA request is sometimes "jammed" in the
internal disk bus at power-on.  You can ignore the EC81 message and continue
normally; the error code does not impair system performance.  This problem
has been observed once in a great while on a few machines.  Typing [Alt][Cmd]-*
is the easiest way to clear it.  If the problem persists, call the NeXT
service department.

For a list of all the ROM error codes, see NextAnswer hardware.475, or
/NextLibrary/Documentation/NeXT/SysRefMan/17_ROM.wn."
