I'm working on an 8032 with bad system ram in both lower and upper banks.
Pettester v4 is passing the video ram test and and moving on to 0/1 page.
I know the lower bank is bad but I'm trying to figure out which bits/chips are bad, so I don't have to desolder all eight of them.
I'm reading now that it's writing 00 to 0100 and 01 to 0101 and displaying the actual byte returned, is that right?
But the values are changing at regular intervals, so I suppose it's re-writing different values?
Freeze framing the video, the first frame shows a g at 02, 10, 11, 18, 19
I thought maybe bit 1 is stuck on or bit 0 stuck off, but the pattern doesn't follow.
It's showing an f (0110) for byte 0 which should be 00 and a g (0111) for byte 1 which should be 01
But also shows . or G for byte 2 which is 02 (0010)
What's happening as the values are changing?
Thanks Dave for PetTester.
