IBM PC Enhanced Diagnostics

The IBM PC Enhanced Diagnostics programs use a full range of diagnostic
utilities to determine the operating condition of the computer’s hardware
components.

The diagnostic program includes the following:
v PC-Doctor’s Diagnostic Software

This interface serves as the control program for running both the IBM PC
Enhanced Memory Diagnostics and the suite of diagnostic tests provided by
PC-Doctor.

located. The Memory diagnostics can run a quick and full test of the
system. Diagnostics can also be run on a single SIMM or DIMM.
