On a disk that Doug Coward sent me, which doesn't
boot but can be read
once I boot of one of the disks sent to me by Don Maslin, I have a
couple programs called RAMTEST3 and RAMTEST5. They're purpose is
obvious BUT I don't have any docs for them. Does anyone have information
on the various values it can show for each 1k block of memory it examines?
Using RAMTEST3 and RAMTEST5, which load at 3000h and 5000h respectively,
I was able to configure and drop in two more 16k ram boards so I now have
the system up to 48k.
Using some BASIC programs off of Doug Coward's disk I was able to load
and run STARTREK! Woo hoo! I've always loved that game!
Now I just need to figure out one of my many miscellaneous 8k boards
and repair the N* RAM16 A3 board to replace the slightly flakey
RAM16 A3 board in the machine currently. Then I'll have 56k. Perhaps
then I'll be able to load and use CP/M 2.2. =-D
