The diagnostics software writes and reads data to port A of the 8255 IC on the Rear Panel assembly. A failure indicates the Rear Panel assembly (A21) is probably at fault.

3702 A21: 8255 Port B Fault

The diagnostics software reads port B of the 8255 IC on the Rear Panel assembly. A failure indicates the Rear Panel assembly (A21) is probably at fault.

3703 A21: 8255 Port C Fault

The diagnostics software read port C of the 8255 IC on the Rear Panel assembly. A failure indicates the Rear Panel assembly (A21) is probably at fault.
