[ asking whether ftest exists for the T805 ]

The ftest code does a functional test of the transputer.

It is written from the code used for functional test of the transputers
at probe.

Since it uses direct microcode entry points to speed up testing,
the code has to change at every microcode revision, and requires someone
familiar with that microcode to write it.

I left Inmos before the T805 and T225 came out, and, to my knowledge,
ftest has not been updated for those processors.

If you are looking for floating point test code, there was a 'paranoia'
benchmark floating around once that did a pretty good job.

But I doubt it runs in internal RAM though ..

Cheers,     Andy.
