Hi All,
I have this 2MB 16-bit ISA board, Micron, (extended memory) that has at least one bad IC on it. When I run the Checkit memory test, the test fails in one 256K segment (the second on the board), and claims it's all parity, C.
Looking at the board, it looks like the IC's are arranged in a grid of 9 x 8 (h x v). Is it safe to assume that the 9 across the top are the first 8 bits and parity for each 256k segment (8 segments = 2 MB)? If so, I'd guess that the last IC on the second row may be bad... I was going to see if I can find any of those types of ICs on eBay and try to replace that one. But I figured I'd check with the experts here to see if you concur that would be the bad one before I start pulling it off the board...
Thanks!
