Please note that the System Exerciser runs by clicking `Startup.2' in the opening screen. If this is not clicked off the Workbench disk will load as normal. System Exerciser Version 5.0 ---------------------------- If you have not built the diagnostics before follow the steps 1 thru 4 if you have tried version I then you just need to replace the MEMTEST, and SYSTEST routines in the C directory and files in the S directory with the commands: copy memtest to c:memtest copy systest to c:systest copy systest-? to s: copy startup to s:startup-sequence copy cpri to c:cpri The Users with the A1000 and two drives do not need to make changes to the resulting disk. If you have only one drive eliminate the SYSTEST-? file which tests the drive you do not have. If you have an A2000, edit the file SYSTEST-1 and change the option for the drive "-D 1" to the option "-D 2" to test DF2: instead of DF1:. Sorry, SYSTEST will only test 3.5 inch drives. I am looking into new test capabilities if asked, so send in your requests(remember money talks!). There are several enhancements to the diagnostics to better test your system! Revision History Version 5.0 --SYSTEST was modified to better test the drive. The system now tells it how many tracks to test. Version 4.0 --SYSTEST was modified to correctly test for a drive's existance. Version 4.0 failed to stop when a drive didn't exist due to a bad test. This caused a Software Failure. --MEMTEST was updated to give a requestor upon an error, letting the User decide to kill or continue. --Added CPRI, a utility to set the priority of the tests so the disk test run at full speed(the memory test is a cpu hog!). ***Things still to add: MEMTEST doesn't return allocated memory if aborted during the test. ***It would be nice if MEMTEST would test Non-Autoconfigured memory maybe thru an option to test an address range. 1) make a diskcopy of a workbench disk from 1.2 2) delete the extra stuff leaving: 3) copy the files in this archive as follows: copy cr to c:cr copy memtest to c:memtest copy systest to c:systest copy pm to c:pm copy startup to s:startup-sequence copy systest-1 to s:systest-1 copy systest-2 to s:systest-2 copy systest-3 to s:systest-3 copy cpri to c:cpri Your disk should look like this when you are done! c (dir) assign cd copy cr Echo endcli execute memtest pm Run systest Wait cpri l (dir) Disk-Validator Port-Handler Ram-Handler devs (dir) keymaps (dir) usa0 usa2 printers (dir) clipboards (dir) clipboard.device Mountlist narrator.device parallel.device printer.device serial.device system-configuration s (dir) startup-sequence systest-1 systest-2 systest-3 fonts (dir) libs (dir) diskfont.library icon.library info.library mathieeedoubbas.library mathtrans.library translator.library version.library 4) Boot using this disk instead of your workbench or CLI disk and you will have two drives and a memory test running simultaniously. See the files MEMTEST.DOC and SYSTEST.DOC for additional information about what the tests do. The Best time to run diagnostics is when your system is ***NOT*** broken. This archive contains updates for both diagnostic programs. The basic structure for the disk is the same except that things are not copied to ram:. If you find this to be interesting please think of the poor programmer, me, and send a couple of bucks to: Custom Services P. O. Box 254 Moorestown, NJ, 08057 If you send a disk and a few dollars I will return it with the latest versions of all my diagnostics along with a catalog of other programs I have! Enjoy!
