Version 2.0 of the gs diantostic disk (Apple's) does have a test for RAM
chips. The interface is a little awkward but presumably a trained repairman
can use it effectively.  I am not sure, however, if the results of the
various diagnostic tests are always valid. The date on the disk is 1986;
doesn't that predate the ROM 03?
