Documentation for QSYSTEM
The philosophy of QSYSTEM is to try and determine most aspects of
machine hardware in the system. The angle of attack is through
OS/2, 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 OS/2 version is being run. It also should
not matter if you are on a 80286 or a 80486.
IMPORTANT!! You must NOT HAVE the IOPL=NO in your OS/2 2.x
CONFIG.SYS and you must HAVE IOPL=YES in your OS/2 1.x CONFIG.SYS
for QSYSTEM to function.
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 QSYSTEM 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, STARTUP.CMD 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 QSYSTEM.OUT
-Ofilename Redirect output to filename
For example:
QSYSTEM -Ops2data.fil
would redirect the output of QSYSTEM to ps2data.fil
-P Pause the output when the screen is full
Note, this also writes a file (QSYSTEM.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:
QSYSTEM User="Norris Couch" "Location Site"=Boca
Output would include:
User : Norris Couch
Location Site : Boca
Notes:
------
You must run in a FULL SCREEN session to get accurate video
information.
If you are running an OS/2 communication program that does not use
the OS/2 communication driver to communicate with the serial
port, you may have your communication session disconnected - I do
not have a fix for this.
If the OS/2 mode command for that serial port does not disconnect
the session, Qsystem should not cause a problem.
OS/2 1.x will not report the hardware addresses of your Serial
ports.
You will only have drives A: and B: as possible floppy drives on
OS/2 versions prior to 2.10.
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.

This program would not reached this level of reporting without the
generous help of Sam Detweiler, Jeff Knauth, Cindy Merkin and
Akihiko Togami.
