Memtest 86 ought to run on that machine.  (Might have to 
find a very old archived version, but any version that will 
boot from floppy ought to run on it.)  Then, you only have 
to figure out which row of chips is which bank, and which 
column is which bit.  Depending on what docs exist, that may 
not be real easy.  Last resort is to trace wires on the 
board to see which chips are wired to which bus lines and 
address decoders.
