When you finish installing an option card and reconfiguring

the system, you should test the option if possible. Some option

cards come with their own diagnostics programs, and you can

test others with the diagnostics programs on your Reference

diskette. The options you can test with the Reference diskette

include the following:

Expansion memory

8087-1 math coprocessor

Serial and parallel ports

Monitors and display adapters

Disk drives.

See Appendix D for instructions.

Optional Disk Drive Controllers

The built-in disk drive controller in your computer can control

two 360KB (5 1/4”) or 720KB (3 1/2”) diskette drives. If you

install an optional disk drive controller card in your computer

to control the diskette drives, you must connect the drives to

the option card, and disable the computer’s built-in controller
by changing a jumper setting.
