Parity failure first 64K RAM
At the completion of the rolling ones and
pattern tests of the first 64K, the BIOS
checks the parity error bits (bits 7 and 6)
of port 60h. Failure results in a system
halt.

First 64K RAM chip or data
line failure on bit x
line failure on bit x
The first 64K of RAM is tested with a
rolling ones test and a pattern test. If any
of the rolling ones tests fail, then the
BIOS reports the specific bit that failed.
To determine the bit number from the
diagnostic code, subtract 10h. For
example, if 12h is displayed at the
diagnostic port, bit 2 failed. Failure
results in a system halt.
