While we wait for further repair on our broken memory, Mike uses his test monitor to run the AGC under emulated memory. The goal is to run the self-test "rope". It should be able to test every instruction in the AGC. Thanks to our sponsors Samtec for the connector pins and PCBway for the monitor PCB: https://www.pcbway.com
