One of the lesser known features of the PCjr was the manufacturing test

'L' port though, which appears to have no use.) The manufacturing test
mode required a lot less of the machine to be functional than the user
level diagnostics or the advanced diagnostics.
I have the hardware reference with all of the dongles, but I've never actually
had a reason to use them (all my PCjrs still function). But that is good to
know, thanks.
