Here's a good one for the panel. Imagine you have a box full of mixed
RAM. By mixed I mean from PC66 to PC 100, PC133 and beyond possibly
with PC 2700 thrown in for good measure. None of it is labelled apart
from the cryptic codes that are stamped onto the memory itself.
So, here's the question. Is there any way of identifying what is
what? Bearing in mind that some memory is suited to a particular
voltage while other memory requires another voltage. Obviously the
solution should be cheap and better still free. I know that I can buy
a small device that will accept all types of memory and test it giving
a full read out of what it is. They cost upwards of £1,000 :-( Can
I do this with OSS and PC? Memtest doesn't do it by the way, not
enough information.
Dick is excused from using his tremendous brain power on this one as
we have gone over it in the past....unless he knows more now than
before :-)
Ideas are greatly welcomed for this problem.
