'''MicroVAX Diagnostic Monitor''' (usually given as the acronym, '''MDM''') is a [[diagnostic]] software tool for the [[Digital Equipment Corporation|DEC]] series of [[MicroVAX]] computers, except for the [[MicroVAX I]], which is covered by [[VAX Diagnostic Supervisor]] (VDS) diagnostics.

There are two versions of MDM:
* Customer Version
* Field Service Version

The Field Service Version has got some special functions not included in the Customer Version of MDM.

In the beginning MDM was booted from a couple of [[RX50]] floppies.

Later MDM was usually booted from [[TK50]] tape cartridge.

Additionally there was an MDM version bootable over network, called '''MDMESK''' (MDM Ethernet Server Kit) 

A third version was the "MicroVAX Diagnostic Monitor RA/RD Kit", which is installed locally on the hard drive of the computer to be examined.
