Re: Zip100 scsi 486PC 'run time error' problem
The suggestion of checking PSU supplies is very worthwhile.
I don’t think the error message is much help, were they ever, from what I can find it means that a program wanted to run an instruction at mem add 0 (null) or 0 in a protected area.
Why it tries to do that is another matter.
Is it destroying the drives, I.e, when you get this error the drive doesn’t work again?
If the drives are not being destroyed then it could be the program/driver is being corrupted when loaded, or a hardware fault within the computer, memory dropping bits etc, the program/driver is probably loaded into the same memory locations. The computer should be able to run memtest86, worth trying it.
If the drives are being destroyed then it’s more likely PSU or a faulty SCSI card/cable/terminator..
