Hello netlanders

I can often (spontaneously during system operations), or always provoke the
following error (using MSDOS4.01 on a wyse2200-8) with the MEM command:

		Unexpected SW interrupt 06 @ 0cbe:xxxx
		(where xxxx varies, based on ?)

and for no other reason than noticing that this happens when I am close to
"using-up" the system memory, or because of the "MEM" command ... I suspect a
bad memory chip(s) of sorts.

For that reason, I would like to get a hold of a test program that
(hopefully) will also pinpoint which chip (assumably if it a wyse specific
product), or possibly (after identifying that the system uses 256k chips) can
narrow down the list of possible rejects.

PLEASE NOTE THAT I DO NOT HAVE ftp access, so I am relying on some kind soul to
email.  Thanks
