SCSI Disk Read Test
This test reads logical blocks from the SCSI disk. If the starting logical block
number and end logical block number fields are not specified, the test starts
reading from block 0 and terminates at the last block of the disk.
SCSI Tape Unit Tests
SCSI Tape Buffer Test
This test writes data, reads back and compares with the data written to the
internal buffer on the SCSI Tape Unit. The media is not accessed so data
remains unaffected.
SCSI Tape Self Test
This will send Self Diagnose command to SCSI Hard Tape.
SCSI Tape Rewind Test
This command rewinds the SCSI tape using the SCSI rewind command.
SCSI CDROM Tests
SCSI CDROM Buffer Test
This test writes data, reads back and compares with the data written to the
internal buffer on the SCSI CDROM.
SCSI CDROM Self Test
This will send Self Diagnose command to SCSI CDROM. A CD platter must be
present for this test to work.
SCSI CDROM Read Test
This test reads logical blocks from the SCSI CDROM. If the starting logical
block number and end logical block number fields are not specified, the test starts
reading from block 0 and terminates at the last block of CDROM. This test will
fail if an audio CD is inserted inside the drive.
Misc Tests
The Misc Test Menu includes testing of the serial port with a series of tests
designed to ensure complete functionality is present. A similar specific set of tests
is present for parallel ports.
