Some notes:

Many Pentium motherboards simply will not use parity RAM.  Even if you
install it.  I believe the newer chipsets will do this again, since
the financial and other worlds like error detection.

I've had no problems at all with my AHA2940.  Also, I believe there is
a patch for the 1542 -- I don't know where, or how it is working...
But there was talk about putting this ``hack'' in before the 1.2
release.
