Very cool tool. Thanks for the pointer. The link I found for it is: http://service.boulder.ibm.com/storage/hddtech/dft32ug.pdf It still requires the creation of a bootable floppy (it creates an IBM DOS bootable floppy). But, everything is contained in the download and there is no need to track down anything else. Again, thanks for the pointer. I am going to download it for myself.

There is a Linux disk image so do not download the DOS one.
It serves as a good generic disk tester should you not have IBM disks.
