I was referring to a diode check via a voltmeter. I'm sure the unit
does handle ~7.n volts as it's connected directly to the power socket.
So essentially there was not much reason for me to post since all
I really did was verify that my diode was in good condition :)

Zener diodes can usually handle a reverse voltage as well which doesn't
seem very useful here. If you're pretty sure, then I'll go with your
judgement.

It helps to first understand that I'm having insomnia problems, which
isn't a good combination with a mailing list. It's actually an issue
of ohms since a voltmeter's diode check measures in resistance.
Essentially what I was doing has no merit here, but it did indicate that
my diode didn't suffer from heat death. Hooray me.
