I'm pretty sure there was a TK-50
diagnostics tape (I never
had one, but saw the DEC
techs use them). There may also have been floppies in the
very early MicroVAX
days.
There was a set of CPU diags on floppies that came with our
first 780. I think
we also had a set of additional diagnostics on 9-track tape
if the CPU
was fully operational.

diagnostics. MicroVAXes had diagnostic$
