    Abstract: PERSONAL COMPUTER MEMORY BANK PARITY ERROR INDICATOR A personal computer has two memory banks respectively connected to two parity check units operative to detect parity errors. Upon doing so, each unit feeds a parity error signal to a separate latch. The latches are connected to a logic circuit which is in turn connected to an interrupt controller that initiates an interrupt when a parity error occurs. One latch is further connected to a check bit of a register of an I/O port and the check bit is set by said one latch. An interrupt handler reads the register and provides messages indicating which memory bank caused the parity error.

    Abstract: A personal computer has two memory banks (12,14) respectively connected to two parity check units (16,18) operative to detect parity errors. Upon doing so, each unit (16,18) feeds a parity error signal to a separate latch (22,24). The latches (22,24) are connected to a logic circuit (26) which is in turn connected to an interrupt controller (34) that initiates an interrupt (36) when a parity error occurs. One latch (22) is further connected to a check bit (41) of a register (40) of an I/O port (38) and the check bit (41) is set by the one latch (22). An interrupt handler reads the register and provides messages indicating which memory bank (12,14) caused the parity error.
