allocating and using system memory, IRQ and DMA use, what device drivers
are installed, what COM and LPT ports are assigned and what ports are
available, identifying partitioning data for fixed disk drive(s), determining
the SVGA setup information, reading the software interrupts/interrupt
vectors, etc.
Functionally, PC-Doctor includes the following:
Group of nine non-interactive diagnostic tests that perform a
non-destructive test of the major hardware functions in the notebook
(Processor, Memory, System board, video section, serial and parallel
ports (when loopback adapters are installed), hard disk and floppy disk.
Group of seven interactive tests (require operator input) for testing the
keyboard, video sections, sound subsystem, mouse, joystick, diskette
drive, printer subsystem and SCSI/CD-ROM Drive subsystems.
Utility that provides detailed system information such as configuration
data, allocation and use of system memory, IRQ and DMA use, what
device drivers are installed, what COM and LPT ports are assigned and
what ports are available, partitioning data for fixed disk drive(s), SVGA
setup information, software interrupts and interrupt vectors.
Group of special purpose utilities to run other tests from PC-Doctor,
perform a virus scan of the internal RAM system, edit configuration
files, surface scan hard drives, measure system performance, open a
DOS prompt, provides terminal access to devices connected to serial
ports, supports memory debug operations, enables remote operations,
permits deep discharge of notebook batteries and provides an extensive
test reporting function.
The PC-Doctor diagnostic program contains a group of nine non-Interactive
diagnostics, available from the Diagnostics heading in the main menu, that
permits testing various hardware sections without operator input. You can
select one, several, or all tests from the Diagnostics menu. These tests are
non-destructive; the serial and parallel port tests require disconnecting
external devices from your notebook and installing loopback plugs. The
Non-Interactive test categories include:
CPU and Coprocessor tests
Base RAM memory test
System Board test
Video Test
COM1 and LPT1 serial port tests
Parallel Port Test
Fixed Disk test
Diskette Drive tests
