IBM PC730/PC750 - False diagnostic errors reported by QAPlus/Win-Win

Applicable to: World-Wide

Symptom:
IBM PC 700 Series 6877 and 6887 may display false error indications while running QAPlus/WIN-WIN.

Problem Isolation Aids:
While performing QAPlus/WIN-WIN diagnostic routines, the following error indications may be received:

CDROM - Random cylindrical access failed.
Hard File - Disk Access Failed.
Diskette Drive - Write protect test failed.
Com Port - Could not select any of the options Printer - The test fails to print to an IBM Proprinter II.

The errors above are a result of an incompatibility between the QAPlus/WIN-WIN diagnostic routines interfacing with the PC 700 hardware. Prior to any hardware replacements as a result of running QAPlus/WIN-WIN, IBM Advanced Diagnostics should be performed (QAPlus/Pro).

Fix:
Use the IBM PC 300/700 Advanced Diagnostic diskette (QAPlus/Pro) to diagnose any suspected hardware failures. This problem will be resolved in the next update of QAPlus/WIN-WIN which will be available from this Database.
