Keyboard is locked... Unlock it.
The keyboard lock on the system is engaged. The system must be
unlocked to continue the boot-up procedure.

No ROM BASIC
This error occurs when a proper bootable sector cannot be found
on either the floppy diskette drive A: or the hard disk drive C:. The
BIOS will try at this point to run ROM BASIC, and this error
message will be generated when the BIOS does not find it.

Off board parity error
The BIOS has encountered a parity error in some memory in-
stalled in an I/O expansion slot. The message will appear as
follows:

OFF BOARD PARITY ERROR

ADDR (HEX) = (XXXX)

XXXX is the address (in hexadecimal) at which the error occurred.

On board parity error
The BIOS has encountered a parity error in some memory in-
stalled in the CPU card. The message will appear as follows:

ON BOARD PARITY ERROR

ADDR (HEX) = (XXXX)

XXXX is the address (in hexadecimal) at which the error occurred.

Parity error ????
The BIOS has encountered a parity error with some memory in the
system, but it is unable to determine the address of the error.
