2142.0. "A2502 Diagnostics?" by LEDS::ACCIARDI (Man Dies Laughing - Film at 11:00) Mon Jan 23 1989 01:49

    
    Anyone know of any diagnostics that will check out a Commodore A2052
    2 meg RAM expansion board?

    There are some diagnostics on CGOU01::AMNEW: that look pretty
    impressive.  Rather slow, though.

2142.2Try the ones that come with the A2058...ANT::GERBERFor more information: call 800/555-1212Mon Jan 23 1989 18:533
    The A2058 (2MB installed expandable to 8MB) comes with diagnostics.
    These diagnostics may work on the 2052.  (I thought the 2052 came
    with diags??)

    Thanks for the replys.  My A2502 did not come with a disk, but an
    Amigoid who lives about 100 feet from me has the A2508 software.

    The A2508 diagnostics work fine on the A2502 memory board.  All
    is well, my memory checks out OK.
    
    FWIW, I was poking around in my A2000 over the weekend, installing
    a new HardFrame controller.  It was so cold and dry that, despite
    my best efforts, I zapped some components with static discharge
    a few times.  I was afraid that I may have clobbered a few memory
    locations.
    
    FWIW - part II...
    
    A little Downy fabric softener, mixed with 7 parts of water, makes
    a great anyi-static spray for carpeted computer rooms.  I found
    this out after some 20 KVolt zaps.

    Are the diagnostics sold separately?  I'd like to run them on my
    A2502, if they aren't too expensive, but I have no desire for any
    more 16-bit memory.
