You may see the following message if you attempt to run the

Change line test on a drive that does not support a change
line, such as a 360KB or 720KB drive:

The controller displays one of these messages when an error

occurs during a diagnostics procedure:

Bad address mark

Bad CRC error

Bad DMA error

Bad seek error

Diskette write protected

Media change error

Record not found

Timeout error

These errors could occur because of a faulty drive, controller,

or cable, or if you attempt to run a test on a write-protected

Printer Adapter Test

This test checks the parallel port and the printer by sending a

pattern, the test has failed.
