Documentation of QCONFIG
The philosophy of QCONFIG is to try and determine most aspects of
machine hardware in the system. The angle of attack is through
BIOS, Dos Int 21h, Device Drivers, and even straight from known
memory locations. Whatever gets the job done is done.
We have tried our best to make the code machine independent. It
should not matter which DOS version (later than 3.30 and QCONFIG
runs in an OS/2 VDM) is being run. It also should not matter if
you are on a 8088 or a 80486.
Options
-------
-? or ? Displays options (help)
-A Displays all supported Microchannel adapters
(can be used with the -O option to redirect to file)
-C Displays additional information on Async communications
ports
-D Displays more detailed QCONFIG information
includes : logical drives, adapter configuration for
MC, model, submodel, revision, bios date,
fixed disk sectors/heads/cylinders
-E Displays current environment
-I Displays CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT
-M Displays all recognized machines by Model, SubModel and
Revision
(can be used with the -O option to redirect to file)
-O Redirect output to QCONFIG.OUT
-Ofilename Redirect output to filename
For example:
QCONFIG -Ops2data.fil
would redirect the output of QCONFIG to ps2data.fil
-P Pause the output when the screen is full
Note, this also writes a file (QCONFIG.OUT) in the
default drive/directory
-Q Does not display redirect message
key=value Define key with value for machine info output
There is a limit of 10 keys at present
For example:
QCONFIG User="Norris Couch" "Location Site"=Boca
Output would include:
User : Norris Couch
Location Site : Boca
Notes:
------
PC/3270s and AT/3270s are no longer supported.
The DOS version must be 3.30 or later.
The calculated machine speed is incorrect when run in an OS/2 VDM
and will not be displayed under OS/2 unless you have the DOS
setting for hardware timer set on for the session running
QCONFIG.
The memory simm detection method in not supported when run in an
OS/2 VDM and therefore memory simms will not be displayed under
OS/2. This is an OS/2 limitation.
The planar id may be incorrect (unknown) on some Model 80s when
run in an OS/2 VDM. This is an OS/2 limitation.
The maximum about of real memory that will be reported is 64MB.
Problems and Suggestions
------------------------
Please append to OS2EWS CFORUM on OS2BBS or send a message to my CIS
ID [Norris Couch, 73763,2656] to report any problems.
