I was curious if anyone had more information on the MPNP code for the disk test. Why was it four characters+enter instead of just one or two? Why "MPNP" -- what does it stand for? (I can come up with some silly examples like "My Problem? No Problem!" but would like facts :) Likely a pair of programmer's initials, but whose?
(I'd go looking in the source in the tech ref, except the diagnostic source is NOT part of that listing. (Neither is the Keyboard Caper mini-hello.) I'll likely have to disassemble the ROM. The source listing shows that diags are at offset 4000h and keyboardcaper are at 2000h but the source listing shows code there so I'll have to determine what the code segment is when those jumps are made.)
Original of MPNP diag code?

You're all insane and trying to steal my magic bag!
