The Level 3 code (FS or FS3-092) will be in the ADFS part of the
Winchester disc, when it is loaded & run the server mounts the
Econet partition.  If you are unloading it from an archive and the
attributes are lost, it loads and executes at &400 so your best bet
is to start the Tube and then do *GO and then *LOAD FS3-092 400
and then *GO 400 and the memory test should start.

Best wishes,



Ian

Brilliant - ta! I think I've got a floppy somewhere that should have that on 
(I don't think I ever managed to get around the password in the Winchester 
that I have, and can't remember if the memory test was in an accessible area 
of the disk (i.e. doesn't need the password) or not.

Hmm, well I've got a level 3 FS archive with the following in:

-rw-a--     0.0 fat     5833 bx stor 30-Sep-98 00:00 AForm
-rw-a--     0.0 fat     2195 bx stor 30-Sep-98 00:00 Backup

-rw-a--     0.0 fat     2207 bx stor 27-Dec-98 00:00 T.Y2KFS3

... presumably FS3-092 is the critter (I think these came from Pete Turnbull a 
few years back)

I should be able to xfer those across to a beeb easily enough, anyway.

cheers :)
