When I wrote ZIPTest, I never thought of the fast memory being used to hold the kickstart ROM, such as is done with the MMU in the early Amiga 3000 units. If I ever come across someone locally (California SF Bay Area) who has one of these, I'll ask to borrow the Amiga and adapt ZIPTest to be able to detect and handle testing the remapped memory.

If anyone has the inclination to do this, check out the amask_to_address() function -- it'll need to be changed to detect the correct address (relative to the ROM address or FASTMEM_TOP).
