| Hardware Test for Compacts | |
| Posted by: RickNel on 2013-05-15 18:02:24 Was there ever an equivalent of the OSX Mac Hardware Test suite for Compacts? I could really do with some diagnostics. Maybe a library of scripts to exercise things interactively, separate from POST tests in the ROM? Apple techs must have had something to work with other than just poking around individual components.

| Posted by: Byrd on 2013-05-15 18:24:11 The hardware solution would be with an Apple TechStep, which is hard to find but would do all the specific tests you want. The software solution would be Techtool Pro, at least a version that runs under OS 7+, I've found it to be pretty decent. | |
| Posted by: LCGuy on 2013-05-16 05:37:15 For AASPs, there was MacTest Pro. For the rest of us, there was TechTool Pro, as Byrd mentioned. While TTP 3 has steeper requirements (I seem to recall it needing an '030 and around 8MB of RAM), older versions should be more compact-friendly. | |
