Do you have a spare couple of hours?
It's been yonks since I posted in our Software sections, so here is a utility that is the bee's knees. Yet Another Atari RAM Test, by Christian Zietz, rolls through a number of intense tests that execute algorithms to help diagnose potential problems with our beloved Atari computers. Let's hope it finds nothing!
I won't pretend to understand its wizardry, but I love utilities like this. I want my ST healthy, so I've had it running for what feels like a lifetime, and it's not (yet) found any errors. This is excellent news, but I'm thinking that this program could be helpful to anyone experiencing weird anomalies or peculiar crashes.
I enjoy finding programs like this lurking in the ST archives, and I hope YAART proves helpful if you're suffering from any hardware problems. The download comes ready to support the ST/STe/TT/Falcon, but take a moment to read the text file and boot cleanly with as much spare RAM as possible (read YAART.TXT)
I hope you have healthy Atari computers? Let me know in the comments below. Good luck!!
