       Krótki tekst do MEM-TESTERA

       ---------------------------





    Program wskazuje ilość pamięci do-

datkowej w kompie. Wyświetla wartości

rejestru PORTB ($D301) włączające banki

oraz bity, które biorą udział w ich

przełączaniu.



    Program napisałem na WYRAŹNĄ SUGE-

STIĘ Dracona, że przydałby się taki

program.



    Więc jest.

    Short description for MEM-TESTER

    --------------------------------





     This program informs you about the

 the quantity of extra RAM in your

 Atari 8-bit computer.  The XE-type

 memory expansion is supported since

 MEM TESTER shows values of PORTB

 ($D301) register.  These values give

 access to the banks of extra memory.

 The PORTB bits used in switching banks

 are also shown (as inversed numbers).





   I wrote this program by the EXPLICIT

  REQUEST of Dracon.  He said that a

  program like this would be useful.



     So, it's done.





                                 JAKU-B

 P.S.

    Here's Dracon himself !



  I wanna add something to this DOC...

Firstly, some words about MEM TESTER:





 Pressing <ESC> lets you quit from this

 program to DOS. The contents of RAM-

 Disk will be intact after testing, so

 don't worry, be happy !!! As far as I

 know, JAKU-B has written the tester

 for extra memory up to 512 kB (RAMDisk

 512 kB, so total RAM in such expanded

 computer is 576 kB). So, if you have

 bigger size of extra RAM it may happen

 not all banks' value will be shown...

 Try to guess why... :)   But I think

 512 kB of RAMDISK is quite enough size

 Are there many programs (or users) for

 mem bigger than, let's say, 320 kB ??!



   Another note: please keep in mind I

 wanted this program just to give some

 informations about RAMDisks. Therefore

 you can also use it in order to e.g.

 configuring your RAMDisk for MyDOS

 (by "O" function). Please, don't write

 your own programs for only one RAM-

 Disk type (by switching banks suitable

 only in your RAMDISK...). Only LAAAAME

 coders do in this way and soon it

 turns out their programs don't work on

 machines having another RAMDisk type.

   Do write UNIVERSAL RAMDisk check

 routines to adjust your program to all

 (e.g. TOMS type & Compy Shop) expan-

 dings !!!  This is the way like Konop

 ("The Asskicker") and JAKU-B ("Disk-

 COPY") do !  Follow them !!!
