Hello.

What software exist for testing EP hardware (which can be loaded from the tape)?

Which part do you want to test?

Sorry for silence.
I wanted to check the chipset, because sometimes appear strange freezings.

I guess the onboard memory. Can you burn EPROMs?
If no then I will make loadable version of the new Advanced memory test which is included in the EXOS 2.4 beta.

No. I don't have a flasher to write EPROM.
And secondly I'm afraid to disassemble the computer, due to a very short connectors of keyboard membrane.

If you do not complicate to make the downloadable version, I will be grateful.

Let's try it!
It is the same as the cartridge version of my test program, starting with cold reset with Advanced RAM test enabled. At "TESTING REFRESH" left the machine running for minutes or hours, then press any key.

Thanks.
Yesterday I loaded that test, and all works fine.
Ran the test about 2 hours.
Probably somewhere departs a contact circuit.

Anyway, thanks for help.
