Well ... where did you download the images of the Foundation
set? The first disk of that is named: "01of12a-Std-Diag" in at least
one copy that I have, and right after that is: "01of12b-Enhanced-Diag".
So -- what you want to do is look for the "enhanced diagnostic"
disk and substitute it for the stanrad diagnostic disk.
My first hit doing a search for:
3B1 7300 Unix-PC enhanced diagnostics
(using DuckDuckGo as my preferred search engine) was
AT&T 3B1/7300 (UNIX PC) information, and a bit of searching
through that leads me to:
<http://unixpc.taronga.com/kernel/>
where you find (among other things):
======================================================================
kernel/s4diag.cpio.gz (91/10/12)
Enhanced version of the UNIXpc diagnostic program that permits
formatting hard disks with > 8 heads and/or > 1024 cylinders.
======================================================================
You also want to get from that same directory:
======================================================================
kernel/s4test.info (91/10/12)
Documents the various "s4test" expert-mode diagnostic routines
accessible through the UNIXpc diagnostic disk.
======================================================================
So -- that is what I was talking about.
Various other things of possible interest there, too.
Good Luck,
DoN.
