Anyone have IBM Diagnostics diskette?

[Michael B. Brutman]

Yes, the diagnostics disks are used for CMOS setup on the AT.  'DEBUG' 
from DOS can also be used, but that's a little too (warning - bad pun 
alert .. ) hard core for me.

The Advanced Diagnostics that I mentioned is for the PC and XT, and came 
with the hardware maintenance and service manual.  It has the low level 
format routine for the 10MB XT hard disk, which is useful if your 
controller doesn't have an onboard routine to do it.  (I'm not sure 
which ones do and don't.)

The regular Diagnostics disk are for the PC and XT, and are also a good 
test of clone compatibility.  Do not run them on a PCjr.  :-)
