I picked up a nice ECOMMS Inc. BugTrap Model 8000 RAM tester that checks the following dynamic (only) 4116, 2118, 4164, 41256, 41128, 411000, 4416, 4464, and 44256. Does an access time test and a continuous test. Has caught errors in 4116's that only show up when they are pushed to their access time.<br><br>
Now, eventually I'd like to modify it or make an adapter, to do the older dynamics 2101 (or what ever the number is - used in Space Invaders etc....)<br><br>
If it could do static that would be great, but those testers are expensive!<br><br>
