Has anybody written a piece of code that allocates all of the fast ram, writes a certain pattern to all of it (say, zero) and then unallocates it? then I would like to hear from you. Code in Lattice C (preferably v5) is preferred, but doesn't really matter (as long as it compiles under Lattice). I know 'general' C, but very little about specifically Amiga C. I know about the portable memory allocation functions, but I believe this would ask for any type of memory (when I only want the fast ram). If it matters, I have 1.3, 1 Mb chip and 2Mb fast. Hints would be fine (i.e what library functions to call, and what thet do). I would like this code to test a problem with my fast ram. On my GVP Impact A500 drive, it crashes some software (see c.s.a.h). But if the program is run in chip first (most of it), it works. I just want to check my fast ram. If there are any 'memory checkers' out there (there is one for a memory board, but the disk was wrecked), I would like to see them too (unless that breaches commercial copyright).
