Memory tester software?
« on: May 22, 2009, 04:42:10 PM »
Hi,

Is anybody aware of any memory testing software for the Amiga, along the lines of "memtest86" for the pc? i.e. a boot disk that does a low level memory check for hardware faults?

I no longer have any old pc's available to test out memory simms on so looking to test them properly in my amiga instead.

Thanks,

- Ian.

@brianb

I've tried that one on my a4000 machines. It doesn't work neither UAE or a real machine

@Fizzy

At amibay I asked the same question. I just got one good answer.

Was the answer I got, haven't had time to test it yet though.

There is also an alternative memtest available from a1k.org: click
Please remove .pdf extension after download! Type raw "memtest" to see program options.

The Advanced Amiga Analyzer has a pretty good memory test included.
You don't need the dongles to use this test.
Also - many RAM cards include a RAM test if they have any software at all included. I just checked an old ICD AdRAM 540 disk, and it includes a RAM test too.

Hope this help...
