IBM PC ERROR CODES
Below is a list of error codes that may occur during the POST
(Power On Self Test) or when running the IBM Diagnostics. If it
were to occur during the POST, it would appear as a three or four
digit number. If it were to occur during the IBM Diagnostics, it
would appear as "ERROR -- SYSTEM UNIT xxyy", where xx is the
device number and yy is the error code. The most common error
code is 01. For example, the error message "ERROR - SYSTEM UNIT
201" would appear in the IBM Diagnostics if it were to detect a
memory error.
