I posted this once before but got no replies so I shall try again:
The machine:
SKAI-286, 12MHz, NEAT chip set, Award BIOS, 640K RAM, 1.2MbFDD, 360Kb FDD,
21Mb MFM HDD
The problem:
When trying to print a largish (9 cols x 60 rows) table from WordPerfect 5.1
we usually get the following message and the machine locks up:
RAM PARITY ERROR.CHECKING FOR SEGMENT ADDRESS..
OFFENDING SEGMENT:8000
Various chip testing software we have tried ALL report the RAM chips to be OK.
Can anyone shed any light on this problem PLEASE.
