And it's a generic tester that tells you a memory address for bad memory; since it has no specifics for individual cards, it'll be very hard to figure out which particular chip is bad. Claris' tester was written with the goal of detecting any bad memory on an expansion card... after that you have to go to a dealer or someone who can deal specifically with your type of card. One last note: Claris' tester tests from bank 2 upward. Banks 0 and 1 are on the motherboard. This means that on a ROM 3 machine, it'll test some of the memory on the motherboard. I assume that the built-in ROM test on a ROM 3 checks all 1.125Mb but I couldn't say for sure. -- Scott Lindsey | I dig iguana in their outer space duds Claris Corp. | saying, "Aren't you glad we only eat bugs?" ames!claris!wombat| DISCLAIMER: These are not the opinions of Claris, Apple, wombat@claris.com | StyleWare, the author, or anyone else living or Dead.
