Diskette Drives and Controller Check

Use this option to test the performance of the diskette drive(s)

installed in your computer. This test includes several checks

that allow you to identify particular problems related to your

diskette drives.

Before running these tests, format a diskette to use for the tests

that write data on the disk in the drive. To test a 1.44MB drive,
you can use either a 1.44MB diskette or a 720KB diskette; but it

is better to use the higher capacity diskette. In a 720KB drive,

you can use only a 720KB diskette.

To test a 1.2MB drive, you can use a 1.2MB or a 360KB

diskette. However, to test the full capacity of the drive, use only

a 1.2MB diskette. In a 360KB drive, you can use only a 360KB

diskette.
