Abstract
In accordance with the present invention, there is provided a system for logging an error that occurred in a multi-chip memory storage device in a data processing system. The system has a mechanism for detecting an error and for receiving data and check bits associated therewith. The mechanism for detecting an error generates syndrome bits as a function of the data and of the check bits. Connected to the error detecting mechanism is an error logging mechanism which is adapted to receive the syndrome bits and to determine the chip in which the error occurred.
