Playing a bit with the QD32 I've found out that it has the "big" EPROM, 
i.e. the 27256 32kB ROM, and this one *includes* the diagnostic routines.

So there are the instructions how to enter the built-in routines:

U
I
D/P/W 20001F40 20
D/P/L 20088000 80000000
D/P/L 20088004 80000001
D/P/W 200000EC 1
D/P/W 200000EE 3003
D * 4401
S 80

And here we go:
