Keyboard check – Epson Equity II User Manual

Page 114

background image

For this check, the program writes specific data into memory and then

reads it back. The data is written and read in blocks of 64KB. A parity check

is also made on each block. A memory count displays after each block tests

without error. After the program checks the last block, you see a message

like:

000640 KB 0K

If an error occurs, make a copy or a printout of the error code and

message, and contact your dealer or Epson for customer service. Attempting
to correct memory errors yourself may violate your warranty agreement.

Note:

Memory above 640KB, which is normally not available to

MS-DOS, is checked using the protected mode of the 80286 CPU

chip.

Keyboard Check

Use this option to check the operation and the configuration of the

keyboard.

The program first checks the keyboard controller; during this check,

you see the green indicator lights on the keyboard flash.

Before checking the operation of the keys, you must select the appro-

priate keyboard layout so that the test display matches the keys on your

keyboard. You see this menu:
