Ali,
<<<200 components? How did you arrive to this number?
Did you count resistors and capacitors on the mainboard?
In this case it would be well above 1000...plus screws,
plastic labels, and sheet metal... >>>
How many hardware, software, firmware components are there that go inside or are attached to a PC that have to interface with the main processor? I don't know and you don't either. It is undoubtedly a large number.
<<<Are you familiar with the concept alled "standartzation"?
When every vendor adhere to standard specifications, and a system designer designs to comply with these specs?
You do not test a floppy "against the main processor",
it just works. Always these days.>>>
You can take a chance (and most likely you sound like you do)and not test a lot of stuff. But there is a whole bunch of stuff out there that is not working because some smart A** thinks he knows it all and does not bother to test it.
Just because someone claims he built something to stardard, spec, whatever, does not mean he successfully did so - or that he even tried to do so. That is why you test.
Everything should be tested, at least once <GGGGG>. Even your floppy, if you have made some design changes.
