I don't know CheckIt but I have found "Apple IIe, IIc, and Apple IIgs
Diagnostic 2.1" 3.5" diskette if that is of any use.

The OP brings up the need for a piece of software that really had
little use to most users when Apple II systems were "current": a
single disk (in both 5.25" and 3.5" flavors) that can quickly
identify an Apple II system and its configuration, including as
many connected cards and peripherals as possible.

This is a non-trivial task, but, as people accumulate a number
of systems, the need to quickly identify and evaluate them is
increasing.

Perhaps even a version that could communicate its (gross) results
using a "beep code" so that it could be run without a monitor...
