altram speed test without driver ?

Post by exxos »

Are there any programs which can speed test alt-ram (4-8MB range) without installing the driver ?

I'm not actually going to have a alt-ram board in, but DTACK will be issued, of course no data will be valid, but it shouldn't matter for a program reading and writing to some alt-ram address , assuming its not actually checking for valid data.

I dont know of any specific program but adding a test to DiagROM for ST would be easy enough?
