[comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware] Ex#13 error and ramdisk > 4096kb

Brian.Chan@samba.acs.unc.edu (Brian Chan) (02/11/91)

  
I have a Gateway 2000 with a Micronics motherboard (33-386) 
[Phoenix BIOS + 16Megs of RAM]. I sometimes encounter an 
"exception #13 address blah blah" trap error running MSDOS. 
(The system works fine under Esix Unix V.) 
 
Can anyone tell me what the heck is that? I tried RTMF but 
no help. (I might add that this error happens most often 
if I were doing things from the RAM disk using MSDOS 
ramdisk.sys.) I tried memory tests on those SIMMS
and they all passed the tests. So what's the problem? 
  
On a second note: is there any hugh (> 4096kb)  ramdisk 
utility? [Ramdisk.sys max out at 4096kb FYI.] 
 
Thanks for your helps in advance,
