I've not been able to test the lower RAM test failure error reporting yet, so testing on a real machine with 128K memory errors would be useful.

I've completely re-written the base 128K RAM error reporting.
On the serial port it reports what address the error occurred at and the bad bits.
On the screen it draws nine bands, the first is the memory bank, white for lower and black for higher. This is followed by bands for each bit, 7 -> 0, green for correct and red for bad.
e.g.
