Run All Above Checks

When you choose this option, all video checks 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.

Floppy Disk Drive and Controller Check

Use this option to test the performance of your diskette drive. This test sequence includes several checks that allow you to identify particular problems related to your diskette drive.

To run these tests, you need a formatted 1.44MB or 720KB diskette so the tests can write data on the diskette in the drive. If you are testing an external 5 1/4- inch diskette drive, you also need a formatted 5 1/4-inch diskette for that drive.

Start the tests by selecting option 6 from the DEVICE LIST menu. After you choose the number of times to run the tests, the screen displays this menu:
