ABSTRACT:
A system and method which provides a complete software implementation of a detection process that is capable of detecting defective Floppy Diskette Controllers ("FDCs") without visual hardware inspection or identification. The approach taken includes a multi-phase strategy incorporating programmatic FDC identification, software DMA shadowing, defect inducement, and use of a software decoding network which allows the implementation of the invention to adjust to a wide range of computer system performance levels.
