IBM PC Enhanced Diagnostics:
The IBM PC
Enhanced Diagnostics programs use a full range of
diagnostic utilities to determine the operating condition of
the computers hardware components. The user interface
is WaterGate's PC-Doctor which serves as the control
program for running the IBM Advanced Memory
Diagnostics and the suite of diagnostic tests provided by
PC-Doctor.
The IBM PC Enhanced Diagnostics diskette, P/N 10L9171,
and the supplemental diskette, P/N 10L9176, come with an
information sheet and online help.
Updates for the IBM PC Enhanced Diagnostics are
available on-line at: http://www.pc.ibm.com/us/
This diagnostic diskette includes:
Ÿ
A new user interface (WaterGate Software's
PC-Doctor)
– This interface serves as the control program for
running both the IBM Advanced Memory
Diagnostics and the suite of diagnostic tests
provided by PC-Doctor.
Ÿ
IBM Advanced Memory Diagnostics
– The memory diagnostic tests determine which
memory module (SIMM or DIMM) is defective
and report the socket where the failing module is
located. The Memory diagnostics can run a
quick and full test of the system. Diagnostics
can also be run on a single SIMM or DIMM.
Note
