If I POKE 32768,85, PEEK returns 209 and this isn't a value shown at http://www.1000bit.it/support/manuali/sinclair/zxspectrum/sm/sec4_2.html#memchk. Does this indicate that more than one RAM IC is defective? -

Yes, and according to that number IC17 and IC22 are faulty. Tell us what the result of POKE 32768,170: PRINT PEEK 32768 is, as you may have others defective.

Hi Ivan,
You might want to consider allocating actual memory and accessing it via PEEK/POKE. This would only take 100 bytes rather than the 500+ bytes for your array.
Hope this helps.
