DESCRIPTION:
Compaq Personal Computer Diagnostics resides on two 1.44 MB floppy diskettes.  One is the Diagnostics/TEST diskette (this SoftPaq).  The other is the Diagnostics/SETUP diskette.
NOTE: The SETUP diskette will become product-specific after Version 10.06 Rev E.  Until new product-specific versions of  SETUP are available, continue to use Diagnostics/SETUP Version 10.06 Rev E (Softpaq SP1363) in conjunction with this and future Diagnostics/TEST Versions.

Diagnostics/TEST supports ALL currently shipping personal computer (non-server) products.  It is installed on the Diagnostics Partition for those systems which support it and have hard drives.  It is shipped as diskette(s) on all other products.

A Compaq Personal Computer Diagnostics/TEST diskette contains programs that can:
- TEST both Compaq EISA and ISA machines from the Desktop and Portable Divisions.
- INSPECT (display machine config) both Compaq EISA and ISA machines from the Desktop and Portable Divisions.

A Compaq SETUP diskette contains programs that can:
- Configure Compaq ISA machines.  

Program Updates:
- Corrects error in System Partition settings in order to prevent possible loss of Primary Partition after updating  System Partition via Diagnostics.
