- SysInfo HISTORY (HISTORY PRIOR TO V3.00 HAS BEEN DELETED)
- ---------------
- 3.18 Corrected a problem for some IDE drives in the A4000.
- It seems that some brands of IDE drives do not like
- reads of 128K or greater at once and some users have
- not set their "MASK" value to $FFFF. The SPEED function
- of SysInfo tried to use a 128K read, so I have changed
- this to 64K. It fixes the problem for a Quantum IDE LP52
- drive and I expect it should fix all others.
-
- 3.17 Corrected an error in the drives function. It always
- used a read size of TD_SECTOR in order to fetch the
- first block of the boot sector. CD-ROM drives with 2048
- bytes per sector did not like this. I have changed the
- read size to the id_BytesPerSector of the particular device
- being read.
-
- 3.16 Fixed a bug in the dhrystones printing routine, any
- subsequent printing of the number could be wrong if
- it was much smaller (eg. caches off) because the
- number was not erased first, and part of the old
- number was left behind.
-
- 3.15 Fixed the "lies" of CLOCK function, it should now
- correctly report if you have a Commodore compatible
- hardware clock or not. Older versions lied on the
- A1200 and A600.
-
- 3.14 Fixed an error for the 68020 CPU. The "DCACHE" gadget
- was still enabled, even though the string correctly
- showed N/A.
-
- Now I have access to an A1200 I made the A1200 speed
- comparison slightly more accurate.
-
- 3.13 Added a "You" string to make it more obvious which
- computer the red bar was for as some users were
- confused by this. (Sheeesh!!)
-
- V3.12 Since re-arranging some of the strings in the main display
- I neglected the print strings and subsequently they
- were all mixed up. I have now corrected this.
-
- V3.11 Was unfinished and I never personally released this version
- but some local person posted it and it ended up on Fish, I
- was most annoyed at this.
-
- Fixed a bug on the A3000, where a guru would result
- from using any of the cache gadgets after doing a speed
- test.
-
- Due to massive public demand, the Comment is back. Please
- take this as a tongue-in-cheek comment, it is not to be
- taken seriously.
-
- V3.10 When the program loads my Logo is in the centre of the
- screen. The logo is a map of Australia, and if you look
- to right of the 'S' in 'NWS' you will see a star burst in
- the location of my home town 'Toowoomba'.
- Thanks to Kurt Boulter from Don Quixote Software for the
- logo graphics.
-
- Removed all the Memory amount displays from the main screen
- as it was rather redundant with the 'Memory' function gadget.
- This also allowed for larger and better strings for some of
- the other displays.
-
- Removed the DMAC display, as it looks like the revised
- chip will not be released. It seemed pointless to look for
- a newer chip if they are not going to release it.
-
- Six new gadgets to manipulate cache modes. This requires
- V2.0 AmigaDOS or later. See main doc for more info.
-
- Chip memory comparison has changed so the comparison
- is done against a standard A600 instead of an A3000.
-
- V3.04 - V3.09
- In house only.
-
- V3.03 Added the ability to recognise the new AGA chipset.
- 'AGNUS TYPE' has changed to 'DMA/Gfx' and 'DENISE TYPE'
- has changed to 'Display' and these can now show if ALICE
- and LISA are present.
-
- Removed the PP&S Mercury card speed comparison in preference
- to the new A4000.
-
- Removed the A2000 GVP A3001 speed comparison in preference
- to the new A1200.
-
- V3.02 Small subtle changes.
-
- V3.01 Had to change the COPYBACK display, since version
- 37.10 of 68040.library, Commodore has completely
- changed their use of the Copyback mode. The routine
- is capable of check both ways aswell as Set040's usage.
-
- V3.00 First release of new version. V2.79 was the last
- release of version two, and the version numbers
- in between have never been used. If you see versions
- using these numbers they are fakes.
