When you choose this option, all checks for the color adapter and CRT
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 Drives and Controller Check
Use this option to test the performance of the floppy disk drives installed
in your computer. This test includes several checks that allow you to identify
particular problems related to your floppy disk drives.
Before running these tests, format a floppy disk to use for the tests that
write data on the disk in the drive. To test a 1.2MB drive, you can use a
1.2MB or a 360KB floppy disk. However, to test the full capacity of the drive,
use only a 1.2MB disk. In a 360KB d
rive, you can only use a 360KB floppy
disk.
Note: The Format diskette option on the OPERATION MENU always
formats diskettes in 360KB format, regardless of the type of drive.
Therefore, to test a 1.2MB drive, use the MS-DOS FORMAT
command to format a high-density diskette. Also, to test a 360KB
drive, always
use
a double-density diskette that you formatted in a
360KB drive.
You can select the individual tests from this
menu:
