About the Test Programs

Using the Command Line Options

The following Command Line Options allow you to define specific
conditions for running the diagnostic programs at startup time.

At the operating system prompt, type QAPRO /XXX (where /XXX
represents one of the following from the list below); then, press
Enter:

/B&W

The /B&W option forces the program to load
in black and white (monochrome) mode.

/LOG=

file

The /LOG=file option directs the test programs
to start using a specified Error Log file.

/INT10

The /INT10 option forces the test programs to
use the Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) for
screen writes.

/O

XXX

The /OXXX option, where XXX=test group
(for example, MBD/MEM/VID/HDU/FDU
/KBD/COM/LPT, and so on), omits the
designated test group from testing. (See
/I

XXX for a list of valid test groups.)

/OALL

The /OALL option omits all test groups from
testing. (See /IXXX for more information.)

/I

XXX

The /IXXX option, where XXX=test group,
includes the designated test group. When
used in conjunction with the /OALL option,
you can specify the tests that you want to
include. These options are helpful if you have
insufficient memory available to load all of the
test programs simultaneously, or if you want
to test specific test groups.

The valid test groups are:

LPT

Parallel port

COM

Serial ports

HDU

Hard disk (IDE only)

FDU

Diskette drive

VID

Video

MBD

System board
