ND-110 Satellite 9883.21005/Test programs

This page contains screenshots from running ND-100 test programs (210523E00-XX-01D floppy) on my ND-110 Satellite (9883.21005).

As usual, you load the floppy by giving

1560&

on the console

DISK-MM B00

Disk Media Maintenance is the program you are supposed to use to initialize (or format and initialize) a SCSI hard drive before you can install SINTRAN III on it. ND-210523G has DISK-MM-B00. Unfortunately, this version refuses to work on non-ND hard drives.

2016-07-22: I tested DISK-MM B00.

SCSI-TV B00

I used SCSI Test and Verify B00 (from ND-210523G) to check that the machine recognized the hard drive correctly. It did.

Testing a Seagate ST31200N drive with SCSI-TV

I used SCSI-TV-B00 for testing a Seagate ST31200N drive.

2016-09-09: Testing ST31200N with SCSI-TV-B00. The drive is recognized as having 1024 byte blocks. All (SCSI) adaptor tests pass. Some device tests fail because the test program doesn't recognize the vendor (and don't know how to perform the test?). The interesting results are for drive tests 12 and 14; they fail because of inconsistent / wrong partition block. Perhaps the INITIALIZE commadn from the DISK-MM program is supposed to write partition info to a drive?

TPE Monitor B00

Recently I got more floppies, which included ND-210523G Test Program for ND-100/110/120. Here are some screenshots from running TPE Monitor, version B00.
