Do they now?

It used to be only Memtest86 (a several year old version).

I found Memtest86+ when the one on the SUSE CD/DVD would not run on
some of our hardware.  I don't remember if Memtest86+ did or not.
Once I found it on floppy, I just keep a couple floppies around.  I
don't even try the one on CD anymore.
