Format a Diskette
The ADVANCED DIAGNOSTICS program
requires that a diskette be formatted for each
diskette drive being tested. This utility is not
the same as the operating system FORMAT
command. A diskette formatted for diagnostics
can be used for diagnostics only, unless it is
reformatted using the operating system.
NOTE: To fully test a diskette drive, use the
highest capacity media intended for
each drive.

all system information into the system configu-
ration memory. For more information on the
SETUP program, refer to Chapter 3, SETUP
PROGRAM.
Clear Configuration and Run the
SETUP Program
This selection clears the system configuration
memory before invoking the SETUP program. It
may be used to return all configuration options
to the default setting. This is particularly useful
if the computer has an incorrect setting in the
configuration memory.
Display ROM Versions
This selection displays information about the
pro-cessor type and the current version level of
ROM on the system board, video display
controller, and keyboard controller.
