1.0   Most Drives Now Automatically Recognized and Tested.

      Virtually all Seagate IDE, SCSI, SCSI-1, SCSI-2, Fast
      SCSI-2 and ST506/412 (MFM/RLL) drives will now be
      automatically recognized and tested by Disk Technician
      Factory Test For Seagate Drives version 1.22.

      This will greatly enhance the value of Factory Test in
      eliminating No Problem Found (NPF) drives in the field.

      Please refer to Appendix A in the file MANUAL.DOC
      (included in the Factory Test software files) for a
      complete listing of eligible drives, plus the matching
      controller or adapter recommended for testing each drive.

2.0   Defective Media Locations Now Automatically Marked Bad.

      Many Factory Test users requested that we add the ability
      to automatically mark-out any media defects detected by
      Factory Test's "Quick Test" and/or "Media Certification."

      Version 1.22 adds this important feature.

      Once testing has finished, any media defect locations
      identified by Factory Test (as shown in the "Quick Test
      Report" and/or "Media Defect Report") can be automatically 
      marked "bad" and removed from service. To do this, simply 
      high-level format the drive under the desired operating 
      system (DOS, UNIX, Macintosh, etc.).

3.0   User's Guide Now On Diskette -- How To Print A Copy.

      In order to put changes into effect more rapidly, the
      User's Guide is now contained in a file called MANUAL.DOC
      and is included on the Factory Test diskette. 

      To print a copy of the User's Guide, type the following
      from the system prompt:

	COPY  A:\MANUAL.DOC  PRN

      and then press the Enter key (be sure the printer is on 
      and connected).
