Mike, I'll try the D feature on the CD _if_ I can ever get it to work, but this system is 2 years old. Would the developer MacOS Tiger DVD have the same feature?

I do not think so. Each system's diagnostic tool is tightly coupled to that hardware. I've never had any success using anything other than the install/restore disks originally supplied. You might be able to take the machine to a Genius Bar (with an appointment) and they might have the right disks.


Can I do anything in the Open Firmware screen to do testing?

This is just my understanding. I have no authoritative data here...

Not of the sort that the diagnostic tools do. There quite a bit of OF/ EFI code being pulled from the disks in those cases that's not present in the boot FLASH. (The disks supply more than just a UI to run the tests.)
