VATestprogram is an Amiga TestProgram that can be used on all Amigas. It is recommended to remove hardware from the parallel port when doing tests on this port and real interrupt testing.
The program includes a variety of tests for different components of the Amiga, including AGA, ECS and OCS screen testing, audio testing, sprite testing, blitter testing, joystick and mouse testing, CD32 joypad testing, Vampire joypad testing, keyboard testing, CIA testing, ROM testing, CPU testing, FPU testing, MMU testing, RTC testing, RTC jumpstarting, memory testing, address line testing, real interrupt testing, interrupt request testing, disk drive testing, IDE testing, parallel port testing, serial port testing, disk drive port testing, PCMCIA testing, chip ID readout, Akiko CD32 testing, CDTV NVRAM testing, CDTV card testing, and AutoConfig testing. The program also includes EPROM files for different sockets and ROM files for emulators.
Latest Version : Update 5.6b
512bytes Hexview of sector/block harddisk, no need for; device to be formated or OS finding of device and can reach 128gb of space on any kickstart
Option to read more then 512bytes per block
Navigation with arrow keys up down for reading multible blocks of 512. Set readsize higher. You can test the harddisk buffer if it is larger then 512bytes.
Navigation per sector with arrow keys left right
Press S for putting sector number
Press C for cylinder
Press H for head
Retry or no retry harddisk sectorreading
Read last readout from buffer harddisk and view in hex
DriveDiagnostic command sending to drive can indicate a problem but buggy, diagnostic comes from the drive it self!
Listing of IDE registers and a Read write test moved to other screen
More Errors readout of IDE devices and output text at the bottom
Geometry can be used to lock sector/heads/cylinders that are not present, it needs you to read first the ID from the drive and incorrect ID readout will reflect(larger drives)
MMU test will list MMU registers both for MMU 030 and 040/060
Last line draw test will loop
HAM8screen with sprites bug removed
ROM Update 29.2
MMU register listing under MMUtest
VATestprogram is a comprehensive essential testing program for Amiga users that covers a wide range of components and features.

Interrupt Request testing
Diskdrive testing
IDE testing
Parallelport testing
SerialPort testing
DiskdrivePort testing
PCMCIA testing
Chip ID readout
Akiko CD32 testing (Force CD32 in configscreen or open CD32 Screen to get more
testing in other tests, (interrupt and “CIA/”Akiko-TOD switching PAL/NTSC)
CD32 NVRAM testing (Not for ROM version will use nonvolatile.library)
CDTV NVRAM testing (experimental)
CDTV Card testing (experimental)
AutoConfig testing not working on real hardware? and only on ROM
Controlling one Amiga with another one through a null modem cable
*CD32 will use joypad control on boot (hold lmb for 6 sec to use mouse)
*For master start terminal other Amiga will be slave automatic on mainscreen
TestPackage include EPROM file single socket 68000(+)
TestPackage include EPROM files double sockets 68020(+)
TestPackage include EPROM file single socket 68020(+) CD32
TestPackage include EPROM files doublesocket A1000 (experimental!)
TestPackage include ROM files for emulators (524kb use 020+ and 64kb=A1000!)
TestPackage include bootable ISO file (can be an older version)
TestPackage include QuickDisk (diskdrive tests only)
(BUG! versions 3.6b to 4.1b don`t work on an A4000 with 030!)
(BUG! versions 3.6b also dont work on an A4000 with other CPUs!)
(ROM13.2 to 18 same problem!!!)
