<div>For testing suspect 2114's I simply use the READ/WRITE functions
of the 9010 - Write &quot;AA&quot; to the 1st RAM address, then Read
it back. If you get &quot;AA&quot; then the RAM is apparently good at
that point, but if you get &quot;AX&quot; then you know the low RAM is
bad (D0 - D3) and if you get &quot;XA&quot; then the upper RAM is bad.
Double check with &quot;55&quot; - same results.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Of course if you read the manuals you will find that the RAM test
gives you more information on how to interpret the failure results,
but I find this test very quick.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>If you have the Probe, then sync it to Address and you can then
check that the R/W lines are working correctly to see if the RAM is
being addressed at all. The probe is a very handy addition to the 9010
that is often overlooked. It's ability to sync to the Address or Data
makes it indispensable in fast troubleshooting!</div>
