You can use Paul Globman's MEMCHK program, but I think you may need to run
it once in each bank.

memchk.200 <https://ftp.whtech.com/club100/pg/pg200/memchk.200> Examines
all RAM memory locations and reports any bad spots. memchk.src
<https://ftp.whtech.com/club100/pg/pg200/memchk.src> Source code for the
above.

It's only documented in the assembly source code, but if it beeps once,
memory is good; five times, memory is bad.

If you haven't got file transfers working yet, MEMCHK is short enough you
could type it in:

1 '************************
2 '*  MEMCHK.CO (T200)    *
3 '*     by Paul Globman  *
4 '*  Copyright (c) 1988  *
5 '* 1 beep=good; 5 = bad *
6 '************************
10 FOR I = 63574 TO 63648
20 READ X:POKE I,X:SM=SM+X
30 NEXT
40 IF SM = 10354 THEN 60
50 PRINT"error in data":STOP
60 SAVEM"MEMCHK.CO",63574,63648,63574
1000 DATA 195,116,248,17,0,0,126,71
1010 DATA 47,79,119,126,185,112,194,146
1020 DATA 248,126,184,194,146,248,35,223
1030 DATA 194,92,248,195,158,248,17,116
1040 DATA 248,33,0,160,126,71,47,79
1050 DATA 119,126,185,112,194,146,248,126
1060 DATA 184,194,146,248,35,223,194,122
1070 DATA 248,195,89,248,205,69,79,205
1080 DATA 69,79,205,69,79,205,69,79
1090 DATA 195,69,79
1100 REM       END OF DATA

—b9

P.S. Does someone on this list have access to edit the MEMCHK entry on Club
100? I added line #5 to the above BASIC loader code in the hope that
someone will be able to copy this to update MEMCHK in Globman's program
collection. Additionally, it'd be nice if the description added the
sentence, "If it beeps once, memory is good; five times, memory is bad."
