IBM PS/2 - Channel time-outs, fixed disk and memory parity errors

Applicable to: World-Wide

Symptom:
PS/2 systems that contain certain levels of Everex Tape Adapters may experience:
1. Channel checks
2. Fixed disk errors
3. OS2 trap 0002 w/ errcd=0003
4. AIX or Zenix/Unix non maskable interrupts (NMI)
5. DOS 110 parity errors

Problem Isolation Aids:
Everex Tape Adapters without "REV "x" level written on the card have this problem. The x in the REV level equals any character.

Fix:
If the customer needs a Everx Tape Adapter they have to call Everx Support at 510-498-1115. It is important to ask for a fully upgraded adapter with all ECO's (Engineering Change Orders) installed.
