To anyone interested,

>From the dawn of time the S/3X and S/40 have had a 
CE test tool that allows workstation functionality testing.

A customer running V4R2 told me that this function 
did not work for him and I was wondering whether IBM 
has taken out this diagnostic function.

You can access it from a Sign-on screen prompt by pressing 
the TestRequest function (usually a Cmd-Backspace keystroke 
combination) or while signed on execute "CALL QARDRIVE"
from a command line.  (don't interrupt your current work to 
call qardrive as it will sign you off when it ends! - just do it 
from a menu with no other work in down levels).

My V4R2 system is still in the order process.  Could someone 
that has V4R2 install give it a test and tell me whether 
option 1 "display verification" works for them?   (this is a 
testing tool and is non-destructive -- not like STRSST 
which you can do -bad- things with).    It will, however,
sign you off the system when exiting the function.

Any comments welcome.  Thanks for any time spent in 
my bothersome question.

Best regards,
Preston
