To my knowledge, the standard & premium baseboards were fully populated then tested with known working coreboards.
If they failed / didn't start, then they would be looked at by a technician in the production area.
The 256TC model was the first to have a bed of nails test jig made for some basic functional testing.
Microbee didn't have any Automated test equipment (that I know of) and relied on getting manufacturing procedures
right to decrease failure rates off the production line.
