2. Special FDD Test ("8") - checks disk type, write protect switch, and read/write.
3. FDD Switch Test ("9") - checks disk switch and write protect switch.
4. FDD Error Rate Check ("D") - checks for disk writing errors.
5. FDD Error Rate Check ("E") - checks for disk reading errors.

7.3.4.1. FDD Test

(1) Insert a non-write protected diskette in the disk drive, and if necessary, change the
"DISK TYPE" (2HD or 2DD) displayed on the Self Test menu to that of the test

input before starting the menu, the pop-up window will prompt for the serial number;
