Re: IC Tester [was: Memory tester]

<x-flowed>
Does anyone have this test device (Fairy IC tester) that could figure out
the schematic? Or take some pictures of the interface board - perhaps it is
simply buffers for the test socket.

Reading through the disk (Fairy... on TTL FTP) it looks like it tests TTL
54/74, CMOS 40/45, and HCMOS 74HC series - appears to be written in BASIC(?
- been years since I last looked at APPLE II stuff) (RUN HELLO2, BRUN HMOS
& this and that)...I can't find anything to do with RAM tests unfortunately...

I wonder how many of us have Apple II's sitting on a shelf? I have three
that still work...but this program might not be worth it - if someone else
would like to look and confirm/deny my results just to be sure though that
might be useful.
