Troubleshooting and Running Diagnostics

The first step to troubleshooting a problem is to determine that your RocketPort is 
functioning properly. To do so, you can create a bootable diskette.

You need two files to create a bootable floppy diagnostic diskette: 

The 

Rawrite

 

utility that creates a bootable diagnostics diskette 

The diskette image file (

*.i

). 

You can find both files on the 

Comtrol Software and Documentation CD

 or from 

ftp://ftp.comtrol.com/RPort

.
