This was made for testing out issues when running Apollo 1260 @ 100 MHz,
but can be used with any accelerator with fastmem. If you can run your
turbo card with no fastmem but it fails when you put in fastmem, you
can rule out all chips until only the CPU is left, without opening
your Amiga. One test, fast-f2f, is the stress test for heavy bus use.
Run it until it stops flashing, 30 minutes should mean you have a
stable CPU + memory chain and the problem with freezing is due to
other heavy use, sometimes heavy (overclocked!) FPU use causes CPU
shutdown due to overheating, for example.
No other component like HDD interface, Indivision, wrong
Workbench setup etc is involved, because the system is off during
testing. You can run this from a clean boot CLI with no other command
than your CPU setup command, if necessary.
