                        FASTBOARD/386 WITH RAM PARITY ERRORS

    PROBLEM:       Certain three chip configuration 1MB SIMM modules for the
                   FastBoard/386 cause ram parity errors when used.

    CAUSE:         Incompatibility between the three chip 1MB SIMM configuration
                   and the FastBoard/386.

    SYSTEMS
    AFFECTED:      FastBoard/386 boards with the following part numbers:

                        202196-001 or 202323-001

    SOLUTION:      To resolve this problem use the nine chip configuration 1MB
                   SIMM modules.
