- Readme file for the Resource Manager View Graphical User Interface (RMVU)
-
- This is a Beta release.
-
- The Resource Manager View utility can be used to see allocated resources
- in your system and a hardware "tree" showing you all the hardware devices
- on your system.
-
- It provides a graphical user interface (GUI) to the existing RMVIEW line
- mode utility. There are two options available:
-
- System Resources - allows you to view current allocations for resources
- (e.g., IRQ, DMA, I/O ports, memory) and what adapters
- are using them.
-
- You can open an entry (double-click) to see more
- information about the adapter/device.
-
- System Hardware - allows you to view the hardware topology in your system
- in a tree view. Each adapter or device is represented
- by an icon.
-
- You can open an entry (double-click) to see more
- information about the adapter/device.
-
- Help is provided.
