-
- All personal computer error codes for the Power On Self Test, General
- Diagnostics, and Advanced Diagnostics consist of a device number followed by
- two digits other than 00. (The device number plus 00 indicates successful
- completion of the test.)
-
- This list is a compilation from various sources, including USENET's Info-IBMPC
- Digest, IBM Technical Reference Manuals, and IBM Hardware, Maintenance and
- Service manuals.
