:::::::::::::› (The BASIC program is on  this  disk,› press  the  SPACEBAR  from MAIN MENU)›› CHIP CHECKER Version 2 June 23,  1991› by Bahamut, and printed by OL'HACKERS› With THANKS.›       Version  2   is   not   a   lot› different  than version 1, except for› some  information about  vendors  who› sell  upgrade chips. This information› is  presented  so  that  people  will› know  where they can buy Atari 8-bit › stuff.  The loss of Antic and  Analog› magazines  makes  it  difficult   to › locate  Atari items for sale.        ›› Version 2 will run on ALL ATARI 8-bit› personal  computers  (and  I  do mean› ALL) EXCEPT the original and now very› rare 8K  400.   It  has  been  tested› on  a 16K 600XL and 400 and will work› with  DOS  on  these   16K systems (a› graphics 7 picture  which  eats   up › memory   will   not  appear  on  16K › systems).  Chip Checker 2 MIGHT  work› on  an  8K  400  if  you load it from› tape.›     Frankly, Chip Checker 2› is  not  a very sophisticated program› and  you  can  do the same thing very› easily without it by just looking up › the PEEKs in Mapping the ATARIby Ian › Chadwick. I'm  working  on  a  newer › version that analyses the  amount  of› RAM  (and  tests it) as well  as some› other features.›     Those  of you who have Revision B› BASIC should very  SERIOUSLY consider› switching to Revision  C.› B & C ComputerVisions (address in the› program) sells it for  $15.   Rev.  B› has  some  serious bugs.  A  stopgap › measure  is using  a  program  called› "Rev.  B  to C Converter" by Matthew › Ratcliff  (a.k.a.   Matt*Ratt.)   It › makes  an  AUTORUN.SYS   file   that › switches   your   BASIC   cart  into › RAM and then tweaks it into  Rev.  C › BASIC.  I  was considering tossing it› into  this   archive,   but   wasn't › sure  if he would mind...it should be› available on many Atari BBSes or   PD› software  distributors.›    Call Bates Motel BBS (209)463-5842› 2400 baud 24  hrs a day.
