About the Test Programs
Using the Command Line Options
The following Command Line Options allow you to define specific
conditions for running the diagnostic programs at startup time.
At the operating system prompt, type QAPRO /XXX (where /XXX
represents one of the following from the list below); then, press
Enter:
/B&W The /B&W option forces the program to load
in black and white (monochrome) mode.
/LOG=file The /LOG=file option directs the test programs
to start using a specified Error Log file.
/INT10 The /INT10 option forces the test programs to
use the Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) for
screen writes.
/OXXX The /OXXX option, where XXX=test group
(for example, MBD/MEM/VID/HDU/FDU
/KBD/COM/LPT, and so on), omits the
designated test group from testing. (See
/IXXX for a list of valid test groups.)
/OALL The /OALL option omits all test groups from
testing. (See /IXXX for more information.)
/IXXX The /IXXX option, where XXX=test group,
includes the designated test group. When
used in conjunction with the /OALL option,
you can specify the tests that you want to
include. These options are helpful if you have
insufficient memory available to load all of the
test programs simultaneously, or if you want
to test specific test groups.
The valid test groups are:
LPT Parallel port
COM Serial ports
HDU Hard disk (IDE only)
FDU Diskette drive
VID Video
MBD System board
