Keywords: memory ram fault check Message-ID: <615@keele.keele.ac.uk> Date: 12 Sep 90 10:43:04 GMT References: <1990Sep11.174118.12194@Neon.Stanford.EDU> Sender: news@seq1.keele.ac.uk Distribution: comp Organization: University of Keele, Keele, STAFFS. ST5 5BG Lines: 30 Hi Netters, Subject says it all really. Plain vanilla !Mbyte Mac+, no INITS etc, sys 6.0.4. Program dies with err=02, onetime, but restarted and run through to same position again...no error. This has happened several times before (for various programs). I'm wondering if this can be a intermittent ram fault, remember that I'm using NO INITs/Cdev's whatsoever. My question is: Is there a program available that will 'soak test' a Mac checking memory (for days if necessary), looking for intermittent faults. I used to have one for an Apple ][ I had once (oooh that's going back some!), but I don't think I've ever seen one for the Mac. Even something that could be entered in (in hex!) through the inbuilt (ROM based) MAcsbug would be a help! Can anyone enlighten me? thanks for your time... -- Tony McDonald (Tones) JANET: phd11@uk.ac.kl.seq1 ~ * ARPANET: phd11@seq1.kl.ac.uk \_/ BITNET: phd11%uk.ac.kl.seq1@ukacrl
