Testing U25 RAM with Leon's EPROM
Steps
- With the test EPROM running, press the CPU diagnostic button.
- Good RAM: the indicator LED on U15 pin 15 pauses briefly then carries on. Bad RAM: the LED stops.
- Reference readings at U25: data pins 9 to 11 and 13 to 17 about 1.5 to 2.5 V; address pins 1-8, 22 and 23 about 2 V; A10 (pin 19) about 0.5 V; pins 12 and 20 0 V; pin 21 about 3 V; pin 24 about 5 V; pin 18 about 3.5 V.
- If those readings are right but the test fails, replace U25.
