Good question.  I have the source, I could add such a test.  (uMON has
a memory test, but it's a "walking ones and zeros" for verifying
hardware connectivity, not all that other stuff that's a problem with
SDRAMs).

What's a C construct that would virtually guarantee a burst read or
write?

Ok.  Thanks, that's a start...
