Since I installed a new 386SX motherboard, I am getting occasional messages
OFFBOARD PARIETY ERROR 0000:0002 (hex)  SYSTEM HALTED.  The message comes
when software such as WP5, PcTools backup try to write to the floppy disk.
DOS programs such as Format, Copy, etc. seem to have no problem with the floppy.
The motherboard has AMI BIOS, NEAT chip set, 2 Megs of memory, 1 HD floppy,
2 HD, 2 serial and 2 parallel ports, Herc graphics.  If anyone has any ideas
about this problem, please E mail your response to me.

Thanks.
Ken Green
