I just built a system for client and I'm getting occasional parity errors. Typically about one every two or three days. They usually occur when the keyboard hasn't been touched for a while. Anyone have any ideas as to what could possibly be the source of such a problem? The memory test at startup runs fine. One more problem the system is having which could be related is that sometimes when writing several files to a floppy, the system locks up with the drive light illuminated. The hardware is a Vantage 386/25 Motherboard, an Orchid Pro II SVGA card with 1 Mbyte RAM, and a noname IDE controller. Could an address conflict between the IDE controller and the SVGA card cause these problems? Unfortunately I received zero docs on the IDE card so I may have to scap it and obtain another. Anyone using a name brand IDE card that comes with good documentation?
