Before any checks are performed, the program determines the number of
diskette drives installed in your computer. If you have more than one drive,
you see this prompt each time you select a test:
Check which drive (A/B)?
Press
A
or
B
and then
Enter.
If any errors occur during the checks, write down the error message and
contact your Epson dealer. Always have the diskette drive serviced by your
Epson dealer.
When you finish running the checks, press 0 and Enter to return to the
DEVICE LIST menu.
Sequential seek check
This test checks the ability of the read/write heads to locate any part of the
diskette. This action by a read/write head is called a seek. During this test,
each head seeks sequentially from the innermost track to the outermost
track. The innermost track is track 79 for 720KB diskettes.
Select option 1 from the menu to start this test. The program displays the
number of each track it finds, counting down from 79 to 0.
The seek is performed by each head, so you see the count twice. If no errors
occur, the menu is displayed.
