Performa Test Software

I have a floppy disk that must have come with my old Performa 5200 (don't laugh at that) entitled "Performa Test Software". I'm not entirely sure what its for as the restore disk for that machine is a CD.

Does anyone know what it does? (the Performa died a long time ago, i have no floppy drives to find out and Google couldn't help)

Cheers

Its a 5200, Which was released if that document is correct a year before the test software. That doesn't add up

Try to find (or buy) the USB floppy drive then test it.

Well Innes, do you have any other floppy disks and CD-ROMs you have it (instead of games)?
