It bombed for me too.  I was extremely unimpressed with the absence of any
documentation for useful features of the HD-20 Test program which obviously
exist.  Especially as the disk I was trying to test kept passing the
15 minute diagnostic check with no problems.  After a lot of persistence,
it eventually failed the test and I had a reason to return it to the
supplier for replacement.

Has anyone else come across a situation where the HD-20 finishes its
initialisation, prompts for the name of the disk, but then fails to
appear as an icon on the desk top?
