- QAPlus (DOS) long memory test uncovered an intermittent RAM error
- on an old no-name Taiwanese board. It took several hours to flag
- the bad RAM, but now the system runs 386BSD flawlessly. I too
- would like to have a 386BSD version of QAPlus, but for the time DOS
- works (it formats floppies too :)
