11. The parallel port test is nearly instantaneous. Test results will be displayed in two data windows on your screen. There is only one parallel port, so there is no need to repeat this test.
There are a number of other tests that can be performed on the serial and parallel ports, as well as on the rest of your system. You have completed all the tests that are necessary at this point to optimize your system, and to make sure it’s properly set up.
You can now quit Micro-Scope and reboot your system. And you’re ready to install your operating system!
