A new PC diagnostics program is entering its final beta testing
stage in mid-September.  I still need about a dozen beta testers
to check it out.
 
THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THAT THIS PROGRAM WILL NOT DAMAGE YOUR
COMPUTER.  The only incident has been a badly cooled 50 MHz 486
that reportedly ceased to function during the maximum system
load test (but then;  OS/2 on that computer would have done the
same).  Release from any liability is part of this beta testing
concept.
 
The program will test PC hardware for failures and weak components.
Areas tested include CPU, CoCPU, IRQ's, DMA, Keyboard, COM ports,
LPT ports (with loopback plug), CRT adapter, fixed disk(s), floppy
disk and so on.  There's also a maximum system load test that will
find any weakspots in the system during a run'em-all-at-once -type
test.
 
Interactive tests can be performed on the CRT, CRT controller,
mouse, keyboard and joystick, among others.
 
System information routines include IRQ and DMA use, devices,
memory use, logical block device map, physical drive map, VGA
identification and others.
 
IF YOU ARE INTERESTED,  please let me know by dropping a line
to aki@cruzio.santa-cruz.ca.us (that's me) with your name,
address,  phone number and a description of the system(s) you
can test the program on.  I will hand pick those who make it.
The main factor will be an even mix of different systems from
the PC/XT level up to 486's.  I would appreciate responses
from only those who have time to look at the program (unlike
myself who has taken part in many beta-tests,  but rarely had 
time to really evaluate a product).  The program will be mailed
via the U.S. Postal Service,  thus ONLY APPLICANTS IN THE U.S. 
can be included.
 
Any information you e-mail me will be held confidential,  not
released to outside parties,  not used in any marketing,  and
those which are not selected for beta-testing will be destroyed.
 
My connection to the software is that of the humble programmer
who has put it all together.
 
Aki.
