yes that is a BASIC computer, although it might be able to run DOS (DOS requires 512 kb of ram, so it it had the max ram in it it would run). The ABSOLUTE MAX ram it can have is 640K...that is a little over 1/2 of a MEGABYTE of ram...Win 95 requires a min of 4 MB of ram...8 TIMES the max amount this computer can run. In any event, the parity issue looks like a chip issue (I also check google and came across the following link that detailed the error codes). Just means one of the soldered ram chips is bad or a bad connection. Someone can resolder the chip or change it out if they know what they are doing and have access to a vintage ram chip.

I would sell it as is (hell it gets to the boot process, well part way through it) to a collector. Check Ebay of course and then google a few vintage computer forums and possibly advertise there (you might get more). I would include a video with my listing to show the error and that it actually tries to boot). It should help with price. Pack well and send to it's new home unless you collect that sort of thing.
