The MAX-mode of the C64 expansion-port is truly a marvel since it allows the program on the cartridge to run right from the get-go bypassing the kernal and its assumptions about working memory. This convenience, however, comes at a cost: All but the bottom 4K of memory plus the kernal, BASIC and character ROMs are not available.
That's why DesTestMAX only tests 4K! That's all it can test.
The DesTest MAX-Switch (or just the 'Switch) solution aims to fix this limitation!
The custom DesTest MAX-Switch cartridge adds the capability to switch (hence the name) between the MAX-mode and regular cartridge-mode under program control. The new DesTest Software allows the following features:
