Re: FALCON030 which only boots on ROM
There's the ACE Tracker which seems to push the system to the limit and this tool which apparently Atari used to test machines after they'd patched machines.
Intro retro computers since before they were retro...
ZX81->Spectrum->Memotech MTX->Sinclair QL->520STM->BBC Micro->TT030->PCs & Sun Workstations.
Added code to the MiNT kernel (still there the last time I checked) + put together MiNTOS.
Collection now with added Macs, Amigas, Suns and Acorns.

Beware, on mine, it seemed at first to not be needed, and finally, i have discovered that there was file corruption happening without warning !stephen_usher wrote: Sun Oct 09, 2022 8:19 am Before you fit the clock patch run the tests to see if you actually need it in the first place.

So in the end, i have installed Exxos clock patch, and then, no more corruption, the machine operates normally.

I think its also worth noting that you can't take the tests as gospel. They are very dependant on a full moon/ alignment of the planets, ritual chicken sacrifice and what side of your bed you got out of in the morning etc
