Subject: Professional Debug Facility
The IBM Professional Debug Facility is a card which plugs into the
AT's bus and allows you (via an external button) to trigger NMI. Two software
utilities are provided: one is an EXCELLENT Disk Repair Utility which
displays and allows you to edit FATs, Directories, files, disk sectors,
and more. It is first rate. The second is the Resident Debug Tool. This is
what gets activated when NMI is triggered. This tool can optionally be
activated via the keyboard. RDT (Resident Debug Tool) is VERY cryptic and
virtually useless without the manual nearby. The card and software goes
for only $150.
