                   *** Diagnostics available for the S/80 ***

The following diagnostics are available for the S/80 system:                 

  1. <BASS - This is similiar to the old BASS exercisors on the 13xx systems.
             <BASS must be run in overlay mode - type in 'OVERLAY' while in  
             console mode, then type RUN"<BASS". All programs in the <BASS
             group will appear on and run from a menu.

             There is a manual available from the Sorbus Technical Library which
             describes <BASS - System 80 Exercisor (<BASS) User's Guide
             S-HDBK-204.

             NOTE: "%D22" Disc Verify and Scan reports incorrect sector
               numbers when run on the fixed disk. The head/cylinder is correct.
               and the range of sectors (this is a track by track operation
               which equals 41 sectors) can be obtained from the Sorbus
               Handbook for Basic Four /S80 S-HDBK-216.
