Does anyone know of a program to test the full 64K RAM on a CoCo? I'd prefer it running under OS9 (since that's where my suspected RAM glitches show up), but free-standing would be OK too. I'd like a test that just keeps re-running until you hit RESET, for hours if need be, printing out any bad addresses and bits as they are found. Under OS9, such a program would "alloc" all the data space the system would give it (around 40K) and flog that. I think my buggy area is in the center of the address space or near to it. I can write my own free-standing program, using a scheme I wrote in 8086 assembler some time ago, but I'd appreciate any help to save me work. (No, the Diagnostic RomPak only tests 16K and passes if the chips are plugged into the board and have power). thanks, mike k PS: My SAM chip has always run nice and cool, tho the 6809 itself get pretty warm. COuld one of these be flakey such that it look like a RAM problem?
