PCStats V2.1, formerly known as BYTE.EXE, is a PC statistics utility that
tells you important information about your PC's hardware in a single
screen screen.

directory on your hard disk that is named in your PATH statement. For
more information on the PATH statement, see your DOS manual. PCS requires
DOS 3.0 or a later version.

Start the program with the command: PCS <Enter>. You'll see a screen
showing the following items:
Title with system date & time &
a) Current default drive & directory.
b) DOS version number.
c) BIOS date.
d) Total main memory & free main memory.
e) Total expanded (EMS) memory & free EMS memory.
f) Total extended memory.
g) CPU type & co-processor type, if it exists.
h) Number of parallel ports.
i) Number of serial ports.
j) Existence of game adapter.
k) Existence of mouse driver.
l) Number of CD-ROM drives.
m) Number of floppy disk drives.
n) Number of fixed disk drives.
o) Default disk drive space information.
p) Video capabilities.
On AT class machines and higher with BIOS dated after 1/10/84, it
will report the types of floppy drives installed:
High or low density.
3.5" or 5.25".
