[Trlog] RunTime Error

[KL7RA]

Hi Pete

This is a memory error reported by Turbo Pascal. 

Runtime error 154 - CRC error in data 

Probably an error in a data block memory transfer from 
the hard drive for an overlay as you don't see it during the 
memory check at boot up. Because old DOS machines 
are so cheap, free, may not be worth spending the time to 
fix it. These problems never really go away so it is best
to get rid of that PC now and never look back.
