This may be the set I found. It has a checker and a speed verifier. I
guess I should pull them out and see just what kinds of chips they work
with. I didn't expect them to work with 1M chips, based on how old they
looked, but if thats the case, they may not be usable for the 64k chips I
was hoping to use them with.

I bought a used dip style dram tester set about a
year ago. It only cost
me $5, and I figured it might be useful for testing all the old 64k and
256k drams I seem to run into in old pcs. I haven't yet had a chance to
use it yet. Maybe it will help with these old boxes...
Does work great but I like the kind that allows you to stress DRAM by
"overclocking" beyond it's speed rating by twisting that knob.
Example, that part fall over at just 3ns over rated speed, naah
plonk! It will fail running warm anyway when machine is closed up.
Only limitation it only works w/ 256K and 1M, 1 bit and 4 bits.
