RE: VSM troubleshooting, Asteroids

The fluke 9010 Asteroids test script that I wrote put up a medium
+ screen using only
the VSM (No CPU) it loaded the vsm directly and initiated a go. I
use it all the time working on vsm's, maybe someone could expand
it. I believe John Robertson had it posted in with his 9010 test
procedure zip. If not, I might have it here at work somewhere..
