# MEMSCAN

A short machine code routine for the TS-2068 that displays a memory map of the computer by scanning every other address and plotting a dot if non-zero content is found. Relocatable; called with RANDOMIZE USR n. Also includes POKE modifications for Spectrum compatibility and for scanning every byte rather than every other.
