    That sequence of key presses will only perform a warm-boot.
The correct way to run the built-in diagnostic routines is:
Solid-Apple + Control + Reset, holding down the first two keys
and then pressing and releasing Reset (keeping the Apple key
depressed is most important).

    That only applies to the original Apple IIe, the enhanced
version will display "System OK" if it passes.
