Hi All,<br>
<br>
If money is no object, you can buy a diagnostic CD, USB, and floppy, even<br>
a boot-up probe card, from <a href="http://www.micro2000.com" target="_blank">www.micro2000.com</a> They have an Australian<br>
distributor, but no local representation in NZ.<br>
<br>
I checked out The Ultimate Boot CD, and have loved it. There are many<br>
limited, poorly-documented, and counter-intuitive programs in there, but a<br>
few great gems as well. I'd suggest experimenting on a surplus system<br>
with an unimportant hard drive first.<br>
<br>
Some of the better-qualified guys here in the LUG could probably offer<br>
advice on porting some of the better utils from TUBCD to bootable floppy<br>
and bootable USB.<br>
<br>
I never found a burn-in program on TUBCD that would do a series of<br>
different things (e.g. REPEAT motherboard, then cpu, then ram, then hard<br>
disk, UNTIL interrupted). Please let me know if you find such a one.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
