SUBJECT: System Unit 1201?? Help, I have an original IBM XT (read dinosaur) which has been recently exhibiting the error message "parity chech sum error" during the running of certain programs. Not, however, during startup memory checks which it passes with flying colors. Upon running the IBM system diags I get a message that there is a malfunction in system unit 1201. Upon looking up the 1201 error message in the manual I am informed that something is broke (brilliant) and to take the machine in for repairs. (And they cut down a tree to get this information to me?) Could someone please give me an idea what system unit 1201 is? If you know what it is, you may also know the best way to repair it. I'm open to suggestions. Tnx, Pete Email or (415) 932-6900 ext. 528 ==Please reply directly to pete. I will forward mail that I receive, but direct is faster. -- I think I've got the hang of it now .... :w :q :wq :wq! ^d X exit X Q :quitbye CtrlAltDel ~~q :~q logout save/quit :!QUIT ^[zz ^[ZZ ZZZZ ^H ^@ ^L ^[c ^# ^E ^X ^I ^T ? help helpquit ^D ^d ^C ^c help exit ?Quit ?q anybackbone!sequent!edw edw@sequent.COM KA9AHQ 28.340
