Diagnostic
Utilities for
Your Corvus Drive
Corvus Systems has produced a special diagnostics
program-
CDIAGNOS - to allow you
to
perform certain hardware and software
system checks, and to
replace the firmware if necessary.
You
should
read this entire section before using CDIAGNOS, and follow the
instructions very
carefully.
CDIAGNOS
is
usually on VOL. 1 of the CORVUS UTILITIES
diskettes. It must be run from
your
floppy drive, rather than the
Corvus disk drive.
How
to Load the CDIAGNOS Program
1.
You
should have your hardware (the computer system and the
Corvus drive)
already connected. The Corvus hard disk should
be configured
for
your
system.
2.
Boot your computer system with the CP/M boot diskette.
3.
Insert the CORVUS UTILITIES VOL. 1 diskette into floppy
drive B:.
Type
CDIAGNOS and press <RETURN>. The screen displays
something like this:
