This Diagnostic board plugs into an ISA slot and displays the
manufacturing self-test diagnostic codes in the PC before the
Video card is even initialized.  POST boards are described
and recommended in "Upgrading and Repairing PCs" by Que.
 
In addition to displaying POST codes this board also shows the
status of all 4 power supply voltages on the motherboard and
allows you to test the power supply.
 
>POST diagnostic card is a XeTAL POSTmortem.  Standard POST board with:
>    - Two alphanumeric/hex type displays for POST error codes
>    - Four powersupply status indicators (+5V, +12V, -12V, -5V)
>    - Supports four post addresses (80h, 84h, 284h and 280h)
>    - Test and load points for all 4 DC power supply lines.
>    - Fused against faulty insertion into a motherboard without 
>       having to return POST board for repair; ie. protected
>       against reversal in an ISA bus slot and fused against
>       defective motherboards that could damage the POST board.
>    - All protruding component pins are cut flush with the board
>       to avoid those nasty cuts on one's fingers.
>    - Meets the IEEE P996 specification for the ISA bus loading
>       and capacitive loads.  POSTmortem has _all_ the required
>       decoupling and bypass capacitors to stop the propagation
>       of digital noise to/from the system tested.  Designed
>       to withstand reasonable electrostatic abuse.
>    - Comes with warranty and manual supporting major BIOSes.
