I would like to provide free to the community an amazing diagnostics utility we have been working on for the 68K Macs including the II family. Currently this is for the IIci and IIsi but other machines are being added. The author has named this diagnostics utility DIAG68K (D68K). It is a ROM image that you write to a ROM Simm with a ROM Simm programmer and boot your machine with it. It is menu driven with the keyboard so you have to connect it to a monitor from the built in monitor port.

This uses TechStep code that is in the standard ROM along with the addition of the extra code from the TechStep cartridges, uses other built in machine diagnostic code, some custom written code and modifications to others to run a series of tests on all parts of the machine.

Note this is in beta and still has a lot of work to be done but it is a very stable utility that we would like others to test and see what can be done along with providing feedback.

Thanks
