The
Memory Test works a little like a stoplight. Two bars appear
on
the screen when the
ROM
is
tested.
If
the bars turn green, the
ROM
is
okay, and you may proceed.
Red
means stop; the
ROM
is
out of order,
and
you
must contact your
ATARI
retailer.

During the
RAM
test, 48 kiloby
te
s
(K)
of
RAM
are tested. Each of the
48
small squares represents one K of
RAM
. If a square turns white,
then green, the corresponding section is good.
If a square turns red,
the
RAM
section
is
not working .
Note: If you enter the test program from
ATARI
BASIC by typing
BYE
,
you'll
get
40
small squares during the Memory Test, not
48.
ATARI
BASIC takes
up
the other 8K of
RAM
.
