GS RAM Plus software

[Unknown_K]

Anybody have a link for the GS RAM Plus diagnostic software disk?

I have the card and recently came into some RAM chips so I upgraded the card from 1MB to 5MB. Wanted to check to make sure the chips work.

The original software consisted of a disk called AW Expander. It should be online somewhere. Includes a patch utility to use extra RAM in old versions of AppleWorks and a very basic RAM tester. Give this one a shot: http://mmt.gwlink.net/

Note that without a GAL chip replaced, the card will only work properly in a ROM 01 machine.

Really? I have it in a ROM 3 machine (has 1MB onboard plus 5MB on the card).

What version GAL is installed? They are on the upper right part of the board. I think only the "A" GALs were incompatible with ROM 3s.

Edit:  GSPLD1A is for ROM 01 only, GSPLD1B is for ROM 3 only. GSPLD2A doesn't get changed.

If you have a card with GSPLD1A installed in a ROM 3, you will have memory mapping issues.
