The machine is: 386DX-25 C&T Motherboard 16Mb RAM Adaptec 1542CF WD 1007-A ESDI controller The error message reads: "NMI port 61 a0, port 70 ff, port 461 ff" The comments in the source state that this could be due to bus-master timeouts or parity errors. I only started getting the errors when I added the SCSI card, but it could be just pushing the memory harder than before. I have cured it for now by removing 8Mb of memory, but was wondering if the error message would allow me to locate it more precisely than that. This RAM is all chips not SIMM, and I have several Mb that are currently unused, but it makes it easier if you know which chips to pull out. -- Robert Swindells - Ferroday Ltd rjs@ferroday.demon.co.uk
