Abstract
A method of determining the integrity of a linked list stored in a memory block, comprises the steps of, providing a series of independent bit positions, defining each of the independent bit positions to correspond to one of the cells, setting each of the independent bit positions to a predetermined setting, resetting each of the independent bit positions upon access of its defined corresponding cell, and then, after a predetermined interval testing the independent bit positions. If then any of the independent bit positions have not been reset by the time the test is made, an error condition is set.
