VIC-20 Memory bank test program

This is a saved backup of original information that is gone from the original source. All credits go to those who have originally created this. I only want to preserve this information for the future. Have fun with it. 🙂

Program by Ward Shrake:
This is an ascii text file of a BASIC program I wrote. It is used
to see whether RAM or ROM (or nothing) is plugged into a real Vic20. You can use it to play with and set the switches inside a RAM expander, or use it to help archive rom images.
