- 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.
