A while ago, I used just this technique to isolate a bad RAM chip on a
Transwarp card. I progressively cycled the chips to 'position 1' , and
after only two swaps, a fault that only showed up running Apple Pascal
with a 1mb ramdisk resulted in a machine that wouldn't even boot.

I'm glad I tried the Transwarp memory before moving to the RamWorks
itself ;-)
