General Hardware Definitions Note: In this category, with a few exceptions (e.g. Duo Dock), all items are reported whether or not they are applicable to your configuration. Items marked “NA” are either not available on your machine or do not apply given current settings. [Text] = Item only exists under given circumstance {Text} = Expect positive response only under given circumstance • Machine = Type of macintosh. The (ID=??) is the actual ID number assigned to the machine by Apple. It attempts to differentiate between different models on a hardware level, e.g. the Classic II and the Performa 200 have identical numbers because their hardware is identical. This is somewhat inconsistent in the case of the LC and LC II where they have identical numbers but a MC68020 and MC68030 processor respectively. Use this name and number to report Nubus/PDS reporting problems to us. ◊ Total Hours in Use = Number of hours which the Mac has been on since it was manufactured ◊ Date Manufactured = Date of manufacture • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Addressing Modes Status : ◊ Machine is 32-Bit capable = Does the machine have a 32-bit Memory Manager? + System Zone is 32-Bit compatible = Are the block headers in the System Zone 32-bit clean? + Booted in 32-Bit mode = Did the machine start in 32-bit mode? • CPU Attributes : ◊ CPU = Main processing chip (Central Processing Unit) + CPU Speed = In MHz + Instruction Cache is enabled = Yes/No + Data Cache is enabled = Yes/No ◊ FPU = Math chip for floating point calculations (Floating Point Unit ) + Hardware FPU = Yes/No ◊ MMU = Chip for implementing Virtual Memory (Memory Management Unit) • Duo Dock Attributes : Since Docks generally prevent the user from utilizing features built into the Duo, this category supplements normal Duo hardware attribute information.

This includes the space taken by the Disk Cache, if any - Memory Used by Disk Cache = RAM used by the Disk Cache set in the Memory (Sys 7) or General (Sys 6) control panel. In the Sys 6 Control Panel, the “Off” button does not work, so the Cache is always 32K min + Total System Related Memory = Total Memory used by system. For System 7, this value should approximate the value for the System found in the “About This Macintosh” dialog for the System. For System 6, the comparable comparison would add the Finder value in the dialog to the System. + System Heap Free Space = Free Space currently available in System Heap. Corresponds to the white space in the bar next to System in “About this Macintosh” ◊ CPU can check Parity = Is machine equipped for Parity RAM? This type of RAM is used when detection of any RAM anomaly is critical.

This VIA provides support for the ADB, floppy drives, real-time chip, modem port, etc. ◊ Has VIA2 = Does the machine have a VIA2? This chip was added in machines starting with the Mac II. This VIA provides support for Nubus interrupts, Sound Chip interrupts, etc. If this is “No” on newer machines, it means that these functions are handled by other newer chips, such as an RBV or OSS ◊ Has RBV = Does this machine have RBV (Ram Based Video) built-in? ◊ Has VISA RBV = Does this machine have VISA RBV built-in? ◊ Has DAFB = Does this machine have DAFB video built-in? ◊ Has VDAC = Does this machine have VDAC (Video D/A and CLUT) built-in? ◊ Has ASC = Does this machine have an ASC (Apple Sound Chip)?

This is necessary for compatibility with some serial devices. {Previous Yes} ◊ Has IWM/SWIM = Is the floppy drive chip the original IWM/SWIM ([Super] Woz Integrated Machine)?
