DiagROM (Amiga 500)

If you swap the Kickstart ROM for a DiagROM chip you can run the diagnostics programs.
Insert the diagnostics ROM into the BIOS ROM slot. 
When first turned on you should have a dark grey, then flashing green, then horizontal multicolored lines, followed by a brief light green then white screen before the final diagnostics screen appears.
