IBM PC - QAPlus/Win goes to DOS prompt in loop mode
Applicable to: World-Wide
Symptom:
IBM PC 300 and 700 Series systems with a DOS/Windows preload may exhibit a symptom of exiting from QAPlus/WIN diagnostics to a DOS prompt (C:\) when the Loop mode is used.
Problem Isolation Aids:
When running QAPlus/WIN Version 1.02 in loop mode, the application may unexpectedly exit to the DOS prompt within a few minutes. When running QAPlus/WIN Version 1.03 this failure may occur after an hour or more when running in loop mode.
QAPlus/PRO does not exhibit this failure. QAPlus/PRO is the diagnostic preloaded on the system, in the "Diskette Factory" utility.
Fix:
QAPlus/PRO should ALWAYS be used prior to any parts replacements. Verify proper operation of the system unit. IBM PC Company Development is currently working with the manufacturer of QAPlus/WIN to resolve the loop diagnostic failure. An update for QAPlus/WIN will provided to users that have either version 1.02 or 1.03 as soon as it is available.
