    It's just a modified retail unit pikkon. I do have "debug" machines, they have some
    slight changes to them but still need system disc.

    I`ve got one of these units, they only check addresses as far as i can see. As soon as you place a GD-ROM/GD-R inside you get the menu asking which kind of test you`d like to run.

    I've seen two different kinds of dc address checker. There's a modded retail with a PCB sticking out by the modem, and a more deluxe unit that's more integrated.

    Interesting. For so many years these were never to be seen and now like 4 or 5 units pop up within a month!
