Below are instructions to get to those easy to forget service menus on the 80B.  If you need functioning parts from a functioning DNS 80B go to GetSpares.com and order yours today!  There are from a working track so you can be confident they will work in your tool.

There are two easy to forget Menus on DNS 80B tracks.    One is called the “Hidden Menu” and one is called the “Secret Menu”  Here is how to get there:

1. Hidden Menu

Press Control P

Password: screen    (lowercase)

CNTRL P for hidden menu

Your should now get this screen:

2. Secret Menu

We don’t have screen shots for this one but it is done during the power up.  As soon as you turn on power, you will see the HIMEM testing and communication checks.  During this time, you press the ‘HELP’ key multiple times.  Do this until  you are taken to the DOS prompt.  That’s right, good old-fashioned DOS.  Be very careful here as you can do all kinds of damage in this mode.
