Rom is 0000-1fff - so you can't run a ram test on it, its read only.
Ram is 2000-3fff - rams are used in pairs on each bit, on alternating
addresses. I do not use the 9010 but i'm pretty sure you can't
dicriminate down to individual 8080 rams in this arrangment. If you can
ramtest with a bitmask, you can isolate which is the failing bit, this
will give you two rams to suspect, then its 50/50 luck replacing them.
4000-5fff isn't anything you need to look at, especially not with the
ram test.
