System instability. Message-ID: <mvhDDGrnK.2nG@netcom.com> Organization: NETCOM On-line Communication Services (408 261-4700 guest) X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL1] Date: Thu, 17 Aug 1995 16:40:32 GMT Lines: 15 Sender: mvh@netcom16.netcom.com I am trying to figure out why my system is goofing up w/ a 40 Mhz bus (AMD DX2/80). It seems to work fine @ 33 MHz. The symptom that I get is that fsck reports BAD/DUP errors, and the blocks reported as bad are always adjacent. I have a promise based, EIDE I/O card, a SB-16 SCSI card w/CD, and a Diamond Stealth 64 DRAM video card. I seem to remember some reports of problems with promise based cards - is my memory correct? WOuld this be a VLB problem or a memory problem? I'd like to get it working at 40 so I can eventually get to a 120 MHz system.
