Merry Christmas,
> I'm looking for the ROM (OS) files for the 600XL, 65XE, 130XE, and

Out of curiosity, or to have them work in an emulator?
> Also, does anyone have any technical info regarding the built-in

Each block is 1K of memory. However, this test is partially bogus. The
test doesn't really test any memory "under" the self-test area, and it
neither tests the display area and the first 1K block. Instead, it just
waits for a while and then highlights the block. The remaining memory is
"sort-of" tested (not very elaborate, though, for a real test you should
write into the memory completely, then read the data back. For example,
if two address lines have a short, this "test" wouldn't be able to
detect it.)
So long,
Thomas
