41C Memory Module 82106A Check / Test Message #1 Posted by AlbertTocarLoseggs on 7 Oct 2010, 4:38 p.m. Hi again fellows, I´d like to check / test an HP-82106A Memory Module for failure. Does exist a program, embedded function or standard procedure available and useful? I suspect a malfunctioning behavior, unfortunately. Many thanks! BTW, the Card Reader / Writer was successfully repaired and it works great after almost 26 years of inactivity. HP quality is amazing! The gummy wheel was replaced by a medical silicone tubing: it fits and works perfect! "Gracias" a lot Karl-Ludwig Butte. Albert

Re: 41C Memory Module 82106A Check / Test Message #2 Posted by Håkan Thörngren on 8 Oct 2010, 2:36 a.m., in response to message #1 by AlbertTocarLoseggs If I am not mistaken, the service module can test the memory module. You will need either the real module (not common), or have an image of it loaded in some ROM emulation device. The memory module loads itself in upper memory and becomes data memory by default, you can resize if you want to. I do not remember how many registers you should have (each module adds 64 registers), but if you find out, you can always write an RPN program put various numbers in it and see that they are recalled properly. Unfortunately, it is not easy to test with arbitrary bit patterns this way.

Let me know if you're interested. Best regards. Diego.
