Subject: DESPERATELY NEED HELP! 486 50Mhz problem!
Newsgroups: comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware,comp.sys.ibm.pc.misc
Date: 13 Sep 92 19:34:36 GMT

Hi all!

Two questions for you:

1) I own a 486 50mhz, 8 meg 70 ns memory, etc. etc. It IS a Dx. For the
	last 3 quarters of a year, it hasn't given me ANY trouble. However,
	recently, it has been acting up. The following message appears on
	the screen:
			ON BOARD PARITY ERROR
			ADDR (hex) = (1000:A172)
			SYSTEM HALTED

	Sometimes it appears as:

			ON BOARD PARITY ERROR = ????

	The problem is random, and does not appear to be heat/humidity
	related (as I installed a heat sink AND a second fan).
	Any ideas as to what my next step should be?

2) My girlfriend owns a 386Dx 25mhz. Recently, for no reason, she
	turns on the computer and it gives 4 consequtive beeps and
	fails to boot/activate screen/present any message at all?
	Any ideas on this beast?

And  no, the computers are not related, and have not transmitted any
	viruses to each other! ;-)

Thanks!

Ciaran Foley

Your drive probably is a ST1102A. If so, the jumper settings are as follows:

It has been noted recently in this group that Dell and Zeos now use 36 bit
simms on some machines, instead of the old 72 bit simms. Why? Does a 36 bit
simm have some advantage over a 72 bit simm that justifies cluttering up
the marketplace with another technical detail to keep track of when ordering
equipment. I was always taught that the development of interchangable parts
was major advance in the industrial revolution. It appears high-tech firms
today have forgotten this lesson.

So anyway, what advantages does a 36 bit simm enjoy (Ken Germann are you
listening :-)

Subject: Re: Gateway's Software Options?
Organization: Computer Services Centre, Australian National University

Gateway has done very well in PC Mag's polls and what not, but my experience
with Gateway has been such that I will never buy anything from them again.

In one year, they have had to replace two monitors, a video card, and a
power supply.  Many conversations with their tech support people cannot
identify anything that I have done to cause this.

They have been very slow to fix these problems.  I have waited as much as
six weeks for replacement parts.  Out of this first year, the computer has
been down about three or four months.  I am in Australia, but less than
a third of the down time has been taken up with parts in transit.  Most of
the down time has just been waiting for Gateway to find the parts to ship
and get their act together to ship the parts.  When they do ship things,
they usually send them to the wrong city, despite begging them to get it
right for a change.

It is common for Gateway to fail to return my calls.

One last problem that relates to their software orders.  I ordered their
Win 3.1 upgrade in late April.  I asked them to send it to me in Oz.  When
they still had not shipped it by mid-July, I asked them to send it to an
address in the US while my wife visited relatives.  They said "no problem, and
we will ship right away."  When it came time for her to return, it still was
not there so she called.  They left her on hold for about a half an hour, then
told her that whoever told her they could ship the upgrade by then had been
wrong.  In the end, I received software I ordered in April in late August.
Even then, one more time, they sent it to the wrong city and it took the
usual extra week to straighten out that mess.

Maybe I have just had very bad luck, but if you do not like to have a
useless computer for long periods of time and if you do not like to wait
several months longer than other people for upgrades, then Gateway might
not be the place to spend your money.

Any recent changes to extended setup?  See if dropping back one w/s will
help on the dram clocks.  Else, switch memory sticks around.

I am thinking 386-40, 486sx-25 or 486dx-33. The problem with the latter being
it is possibly a little more expensive than my budget. I can always upgrade with
the 25sx later and its prices are a steal. Any advice would be appreciated.
  Finally, have been reading computer shopper and see some great buys. Are the
  less expensive direct order companies reputable? Example Dee One Systems.

Recently I got an Everex AT memory expansion board which has
no documentation on how to use it. The board is fully populated
with 41256 RAM which totalled up to 3MB. I plugged into my
AT and the AMI bios cannot detect the existance of the 
extra memory. There are 2 dip switches on the upper right hand
side of the board which has 8 switches on each. Below the
dip switches, there is an Everex named rectanglar-shaped chip (I think
it is the memory controller for the board) . 

Also, there is another version of the same board which has
3 dip switches with a Everex named square-shaped chip on it.

If anybody has any documentation on how to config them, please send
email to me. Thanks alot!

Sorry I can't quote original article.  Newsreader is still under repair.
Anyway, also check your cable or the connection between the card and the
monitor as a whole.

	Two very simple questions:

	1) If a diskette is protected (ie, the hole is open for the 3.5')
	there could be no way the FD can write anything on it, is that
	right? Not even by software-programming or any other ways?
	(I am a bit paranoid after cleaning up my friend's infected
	 computer with one of my diskette which has a virus scan util...)
	
	2) The clock in my computer seems to be running behind time
	quite constantly. I usually have to adjust it once every two
	weeks or so. Is there a way I can fix it?

	Many thanks for help in advance.

  You've all seen the varying prices on motherboards for, say 386DX's
in ads for mailorder or in shops wherever you may live.  My question
is, what do I look for in a good one?  I know that I, personally, want
something that can hold 16 or 32 MB ram right on the board, which is 
pretty much standard.  But what of chipsets?  Which ones, in opinion or in
fact (performance tests, etc), are good?  What else should I look for?
