Subj: parity on b004
Hello everybody!
 
Has anybody any experience with the IMS B004 paritycheck? When I run the
ramtest program from INMOS, everything seems to be ok. But the trouble starts
when executing my user-program (a pure occamII program with nothing special in
it), which monitors parity, too: parity becomes set at random times, sometimes
only a few seconds after programstart. Errorlocation bank3, byte1 is displayed
often. Is there a bug in the hard- or software (initialisation?) or is my RAM
really damaged?
 
Thanks
Helmut Heller
