DEVICE TESTS
Quick Disk Test
This test performs a non-destructive read/write on one block per track on the disk. The
test reads one block on each track, saves the data, and proceeds to write and read four test
patterns to the bytes in the block. If the Next block is good, the saved data is written back
to the disk.
