- Many utility programs will do this. Here are some prices from
- Programmer's Paradise (I have their catalog in school with me
- today...)
-
- AMIDIAG by AMI - list: $90, PP: $81
-
- Checkit by Touchstone Software - list:149, PP:105
-
- Ckeckit Floppy drive testing - list:70, PP:39
-
- Disk Technician Gold by Prime Solitions - list:149, PP:99
-
- These are all DOS diagnostic programs. Programmer's Paradise can be
- reached at 1-800-445-7899. These apps should be available in most
- software stores (although software stores seem to be quickly becoming
- video game stores...)
