SuperPCK with Coretest
Description:
Coretest is a public domain application that comes in many
different versions. It runs various benchmark tests on a system.
Some of the Taiwanese computer manufacturers rely on Coretest
for their production quality assurance. Multisoft and the
Digital Research engineering labs are working on a problem
reported from Taiwan.
If SuperPCK is running in extended memory, Coretest causes the
cache to get corrupted and Diskopt reports cross-linked files.
Actual data on the drive is not lost or corrupted. Rebooting
corrects the error.
Workaround to avoid any problems is:
1. Run SuperPCK in expanded memory, or
2. Set the switch /B- which decreases interrupt timeout.
This problem is expected to be fixed in the near future.
