PROGRAM MachineInformation;
By: Drew O. Letcher
Iowa City, IA
April, 1986
Figures out your machine configuration including:
Machine Type
BIOS Version Date
Amount of Memory - Dip switches, tested, available to DOS
Number and Size of Disk Drives
Number and Size of Hard Drives
Adapter Boards Installed
Monitor Mode
Video adpaters including Hercules and EGA
DOS version
These routines try to use the highest level access to the system that is
possible. In this order:
DOS services
BIOS services
System Data Area
Chip registers
I wrote this program as a programming tool. A good program should try to
figure out as much about its environment as possible. Having to ask users
for info about the system is a nuisance and unreliable.
I've found the program also comes in handy if you work on many different
PC's and you'd just like to know how their equipped.
Use this program and source code freely.
