Thanks! As fate would have it, just as I was going to test this program
on the Portable, the RAM card stopped working entirely (the Mac refuses
to recognize it now). So maybe my question has answered itself :).

Anyone
know of a decent memory test utility that runs on classic
macs (68k
based)?
I have an old Mac Portable that I'm struggling to get an OS on -- I
consistently get "bad F-line instruction" traps when booting from
System 7
disks (floppies and CD-ROMs), which from what I can tell probably
means bad
memory. I'd like to find out if it IS memory, and if so, whether
it's the
onboard 1mb (I hope not) or on the 4mb expansion...
My internet searches have come up dry (I've found stuff for OS X,
and early
PowerMacs, but nothing for the 68k line).
If you can find Snooper, I think it has a RAM test tool in it that
will work
and does not require the Snooper NuBus board to be installed.
