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.)
