Laser 128EX Odd Display Issues

I recently acquired a Laser 128EX, and populated the memory card to 1MB. I tested out Henry Lowe's Card Cat and RAMWerks programs, and I'm seeing some odd display issues that I'm trying to figure out if my Laser is having issues, or it's some odd bug in the program that affects Lasers. So if any Laser owners would be willing to check out these programs, I'd appreciate it.

 

 

In Card Cat, the display issue I see is when it first starts up and says "scanning x of 7", once it hits slot 3, it starts incrementing numbers after the 7. So it will say 3 of 71, 4 of 72, 5 of 73, etc.

 

 

 

With RAMWerks, it's failing the first bank of memory. And all the other memory says OK, but has a question mark next to it.  I've shifted the ram banks, and bank 1 always fails. Additionally, the percent completed is also showing extra digits. Like "Test Progress 76%7" and "Testing RAM bank 10 of 129".

 

 

I did reach out to Henry, but hoping to get some additional data points from other Laser owners. Links to the programs are below.

Our forum colleague skate323k137 also has a Laser 128 (you can see it in this post). If you PM him, I am sure he will find the time to give Card Cat and RAMWerks a try on his machine.
