Hi #?,

I've finally got me a 386 bridgeboard which I'm going to use as a donor to fix my 486 one (it's an Elite one like on http://www.amiga-hardware.com/showhardware.cgi?HARDID=331). To help me diagnose what's wrong I've written a program to test the Dual Port RAM on the board, which I know isn't being read from or written to correctly (I worked that out years ago using a program in Blitz!).

I'm going to replace all the chips one by one till I find the one that's knackered (assuming it's not one of the square surface mounted ones), but to test the RAM I've written a new program in C.

The A1500 I'm using to test the board has KS1.3 - How can I compile my memory tester program to run on this system? I've tried Storm and VBCC, and Dice, but Dice only has amiga20?s.lib so I assume it won't run under 1.3.

Can anyone help? And just by the way, nobody knows which chips happen to control the dual port RAM addressing on a 2386 do they? :)

You could turn off the startup-code in Dice and just use OS calls for anything you need.
