[comp.sys.mac] Memory Diagnostics >512K

jac@osu-eddie.UUCP (Jim Clausing) (04/21/87)

Some time back, I had TheMax2 (512->2M) memory upgrade from MacMemory
installed on my upgraded 512.  I love all of the memory and most of the 
time it works fine, but there are a few things that seem to give me 
trouble.  Among these, I can't run Switcher (not even the version included 
on the disk that came with the upgrade) or the newest Chooser.  In both
cases, it opens the window (or dialog box), but when trying to draw
the appropriate text, boxes, buttons, etc. it seems to get lost and
the watch cursor stays up until I reboot.  It still tracks mouse
movements, but no clicks or keyboard events are recognized.  I suspect
that the problem may have something to do with the "wire they broke
off while installing."  Unfortunately, it passed all of their 
diagnostics (brief as they were), which finally brings me to the point
of this note.  Does anyone out there have an application that does
extensive memory diagnostics, I have a very old one (I think I got it
off of CompuServe 2 years ago or more), but it can't handle more than
512K?  I'd be willing to give the Mac up for a weekend if I could
find out for sure where the problem is.  Any help would be greatly
appreciated.
