Re: Announce: MegaMemoryTester 2.0

[Geoff Weiss <geoff@invalid.invalid>]

If I understand you right, the "Ramworks" card is the //e aux slot RAM, 
right?  That implies 8-bit specific code--MegaMemoryTester is 16-bit 
code.  The ProDOS 8 version of MMT does a quick check to see if the 
hardware is a IIgs or not using 8-bit code and then switches to 16-bit 
after it verifies it is running on a IIgs.

I have no opposition to have the functionality of MegaMemoryTester 
expanded, such as one-stop shop for all Apple II memory testing needs. 
I don't have any desire to learn how to detect and then test the RAM for 
both //e Aux and Slinky RAM cards.

If there is a volunteer to add this support, the source is in Orca/M 
(16-bit) and will be available for somebody who wants to add support. 
The //e Aux test would obviously have to be in a 8-bit specific section 
of the code (hence, not even an option in the GS/OS version).  The 
slinky RAM would be useful to be available in both the 8-bit and 16-bit 
since the IIgs can use slinky RAM as a RAM disk.
