Can someone point me to a RAM tester that will pinpoint a bad chip on a DTK 386-20 w/ 1Meg on the system board & 4Meg installed on DTK's 32-bit memory add-in board? Symptom is "Parity error segment doesn't found", "Press any key to continue" when using Win3 SMARTDRV.SYS cache. After disabling SMARTDRV, this message doesn't occur but I haven't multitasked a lot of tasks yet so assume bad chip is in upper end of the 4Meg add-in board. Please post; e-mail don't seem to get to me yet.

It not only gives you tremend- ous amounts of information about your computer, but includes a program called QARAM which tests all your chips and will isolate problems for you. ./*- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ storm@cs.mcgill.ca McGill University It's 11pm, do YOU Marc Wandschneider Montreal, CANADA know what time it is? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
