The start track is specified when the FDD test is started from the Diagnostic
Test Menu. Refer to step 3 at the beginning of this section to set the start
track.
Subtest 02
Sequential Read/Write
This subtest continuously writes data pattern B5ADADh to all the specified
tracks selected in subtest 01. The data is then read and compared to the
original data.
Subtest 03
Random Address/Data
This subtest writes random data to random addresses on all tracks defined in
subtest 01. The data is then read and compared to the original data.
