Re: Using Minerva Rom with toolkit
It looks like faulty ram, those big numbers are memory address errors.
Re: Using Minerva Rom with toolkit
The numbers mean (from top to bottom):
Tobias
- Memory value (.L) that was written
- Memory Value read back
- Affected longword address

Re: Using Minerva Rom with toolkit
I notice it says 64k on the minerva page.
is the ram split into 2 64k banks?

Hi,
The njmbers on the Minerva Ram Text screen can be input into a programme from the Minerva Utilities Disk, called "ramfail_bas". The programme will tell you which ram chip is faulty.
But only works for internal QL ram.
The support disk is available on Dilwyn's web site in the QL Roms section or direct link:

Well you could run the program in the free version of Q-Emulator, SMSQmulator, or QPC2.Oggyuk wrote:Er not sure how to run that file.
