- So far, I have not had any complaints of my DRAM tester not reporting
- accurate results. You must remember to disable any GUS TSR's, not to test
- under Windows and SBOS. If you follow these rules, the program should
- work. I have had one report of flakey results, but these were probably due
- to flakey chips and temperature adjustments, ie: the chips were plugged in
- when they were cold, but they later turned out to be ok.. You may be
- facing some bad chips.
- I will be thouroughly testing my DRAM tester on January 4th, both with
- good and bad Dram, than I will release a final release version.
