The computer spins the diskette for a few seconds then displays a message like this:

The disk rotation speed is now 300.0 rpm.

Note

The speed for a 360KB or 720KB drive should be 300 rpm.

This check permits a tolerance of ±2%.

The diskette continues to spin, and the display is updated every few seconds. To stop the test, press any key; the program returns to the menu.

If you try to perform a speed test without inserting a diskette, or if a read error occurs, you see this message and prompt:

Disk is defective or not installed properly. Press ENTER to return to the menu.

Run All Above Checks

To run all the tests on the menu in sequence, press 5 and then Enter. When you choose this option, all checks for the diskette in drive d and the controller are performed automatically in sequential order. Although you do not start each test, you must still supply the appropriate responses to progress from one test to the next.
