There is more than one Apple standard for memory. He was referring to the
//gs memory slot, which has no relationship the the slot 5 'slinky' card
you type C50AG to check. AE's RamFactor (which I have) also uses this entry
point but I didn't know it was documented -- that is, an Apple sanctioned
entry point.

AE makes a RAM tester for their GS-ram cards -- these use the //gs memory
slot so the tester will work. If the memory card in question was from AE
then their software will show exactly which chip is bad.
