I've been having what I suspect are memory issues and ran through a bunch of memtest programs with nothing found.  I found what appears to be a fairly new program called ziptest on aminet and it tests all the zip ram on an A3000.  The date is listed as 12-07-17.  I tried it out and it reported back that there was an issue with U875 (Cell 3-1).  I disassembled the amiga and looked at the RAM and sure enough, U875 was a little higher than all the others and pulled out fairly easily.  I noticed one pin was bent wrong, straightened it out and reinstalled it.  Ran ziptest again and everything shows good.  So, this, imo, is an awesome program!

great find!  it does indeed look to be a new program, looking at the readme (it states to compile it with a 2017 version of VBCC).
