Folks,
I have experienced when I tried to copy files from DOS 3.3 to ProDOS
using Copy II Plus 9.1. I compared both files on source and target. I have
discovered that both are not identical. I did notice garbage data from
sector to sector. I assure to be defective RAM built-in on motherboard of
Apple IIgs (256KB). I did diagnose using Ctrl-Open Apple-Closed
Apple-Reset, but it shows, "System Good". It does not make sense. It
should have scanned bank $0 through $3 to detect corrupted data in RAM.
I have tested another Apple IIgs motherboard. It is working fine when
files are copied using Copy II Plus 9.1. Maybe, I will need another
software to test defective RAM. If it determines errors in RAM. there
should be a way to replace RAM chips on motherboard, but they are all
soldered. Any suggestions?
