- About this program:
- ---------------------
- This program gives you a simple way of "testing" new disks without
- formatting them. The program does not do a read/write test, but it gives
- you a chance to listen to the sound when the disk rotates in the drive.
-
- The program will also give you a chance to test software and hardware
- trackdisplays.
-
- Installation/Requirements:
- ----------------------------
- Runs only under 2.0 and higher (v37). The program can only be started from
- CLI and the usage is simple: only the device to test is accepted as an
- argument the colon after the device name is optional.

- Gadgets:
- ----------
- There are only three gadgets in this program. The TRACK UP / TRACK DOWN
- gadgets only works if a disk is in the drive. All gadgets starts the
- disk motor when a disk is in the drive.
-
- TRACK UP: Moves the read/write heads one step closer to track 79
- TRACK DOWN: Moves the read/write heads one step closer to track 00
- Track Number: Allows you to type in the track number to move the heads
- to. If you type the track number without a disk in the
- drive, this number will be used as a start value for the
- TRACK UP / TRACK DOWN gadgets.
-
- To exit the program, press the window close gadget (see the manuals that
- came with your computer if you don't know how to close the window...).
-
