This is the 'noddy' RAM test that is run first prior to using Page 0 and Page 1 (stack) RAM during the full memory test.
Give me a few minutes to send some work emails off and I will have a look.
In the meantime you can look at the 'g' and 'b' letters with the knowledge that I am storing $00 in address $0000, $01 in address $0001, ... , $FF in address $00FF. Repeat for addresses $0100 through $01FF. You are looking for 'stuck' data patterns or 'stuck' address patterns.
The first 256 bytes on the screen consist of a g or b status (good or bad) for the first 256 bytes of memory (page 0) and the next 256 bytes indicate the character corresponding to the data that was read. The character codes (when converted back from PETSCII to hex) would give you the data pattern that was read. The next 2 * 256 bytes is duplicated for addresses $0100 to $01FF (page 1).
See if you can make some sense of it...
