WHat is this RAMCHECK program? Can you send me a copy? I'm going to be writing some systems diagnostics software for the MultiROM when I get the chance, but I'm not sure what form it'd take. And I'm pretty sure that the SAM did have *some* form of software -- I think I saw Mark using it at SAMco when I worked there. > The Spectrum used to have a gadget with a ROM you could plug in, > but have not seen one of those for a while.

Yep... he's also getting rid of the vents in the case and on the base plate. Another bad move again, methinks. Besides, we've got enough supply problems on the SAM as it is -- we don't need more yickky ones... and loading probs would go through the roof. It's bad enough on my sam with just a sambus, one drive and a meg. :( Si
