Lisa Test Program

Hi,

Has anyone on the list had experience of the Lisa Test program? I have a couple of faulty memory cards on my third Lisa and wonder if this program will let me identify the exact chip(s) that might have failed?

I'd expected to be playing with it myself by now but I've had no success in getting it from the Internet onto a Mac Disk.

I've downloaded the following files from the mothership. 

LisaTest_v3.0_1of2.archive.hqx
LisaTest_v3.0_1of2.archive.sit.hqx
LisaTest_v3.0_2of2.archive.hqx
LisaTest_v3.0_2of2.archive.sit.hqx

I'm PC based so the way I've normally transfered Mac Files to a real MAC is to use a nice little program called TransMac. Dragging almost any other HQX file downloaded from the Mothership into TransMac works just fine. It decodes it into it's SIT or otherwise and writes it to a Mac formatted floppy drive on the PC (which I then read in my Classic II, unstuff then diskcopy onto a 400k formatted disk in an 800k external drive)....all except that is for the four files above? Weird! Whenever I try to drag it onto the Mac disk via TransMac the program says "Wrong type of file for this translation". Which means it doesn't recognise it as a valid HQX. No other HQX files from there has this problem except these Lisa Test ones?

I found some other ZIPPED versions of LisaTest disk images which I can get to the Mac no problem but Disk Copy doesn't recognise these as valid images. I'm assuming the fork has been lost somewhere.

Anyway, I'll appreciate any comments on this conundrum. Has anyone successfully used these images and is the Lisa Test comprehensive enough to identify the location of faulty RAM chips?

Thanks in advance!
