A very effective Applesoft memory test

Submitted by S.Elliott on June 26, 2022 - 5:38pm

Here's a simple-but-effective Applesoft program that rigorously tests main memory.

In its first pass, the program uses Applesoft's pseudorandom number generator to fill addresses 4096 through 49151 ($1000 to $BFFF).

In its second pass, it resets the pseudorandom number generator and computes the same sequence again...but this time it compares the values that were previously stored in memory and detects any that don't match.

(2022) - New Project ideas

Submitted by apple2forever on March 11, 2022 - 10:29am

I'm aiming a little bit lower for my 2022 projects:

keyboard interfaces cards for vintage pre-MIDI music systems, the Passport Designs soundchaser and the Alpha Syntauri system

I have an existing passport interface card - acquired in early 2022 - which I can clone. Still hoping to find a soundchaser MX card as well.

Honestly, I haven't tuned in until the Mac Studio got announced. However, I would like to share my thoughts on the new products.
