I had a copy once of Apple CAT (computer-aided testing or something like
that), that a service tech gave to me to look at because I was curious.
It's a well designed program, the only thing is that you need a _lot_ of
these special cables (have a SCSI loopback cable lying around?), and for most
of the actual tests you need a _second_ Macintosh to act as the actual testing
device, the sick Mac is hooked up by umbilical cords and diagnosed.  So 
having a copy of the program really isn't useful unless you're an Apple
tech.  I have seen some mention of some new diagnostic programs that will be
avaiable soon (check some recent issues of MacWeek).  There is also a book
from SAMS publishing I think that describes the circuitry and some internals
of the compact Mac series.  Could be good reading...
