-
- Infoplus is a program that, like Microsoft MSD, or Quarterdeck Manifest,
- displays various pages of information detailing various aspects of your
- computer's hardware and resident software.
-
- Unlike the others, Infoplus details many resident drivers and programs,
- such as Hyperdisk, Stacker, Microsoft Mouse, QEMM, and more. It also
- recognizes many VGA chipsets, and details information about them.
-
- Changes by Andrew Rossmann v1.56 (12/30/92)
- All : The AP command now accepts a filename for automatic output.
- Added an NP command switch. When specified, INFOPLUS will not
- attempt to read the partition table from the hard disk. This
- fixes a problem on some SCSI drives or controllers.
- Added an F command switch. This tell Infoplus to leave 16550
- FIFO's enabled.
- Reduced potential conflict with CBIS PowerLAN redirector when
- checking for the true DOS version (since DOS 5 can change it.)
- Reduced chances of false data being returned by some pages when
- running in an OS/2 DOS session.
- Page 1 : Added detection of HP 95LX.
- Page 3 : Unless Windows 3 enhanced mode is detected, will now check for
- both VCPI and DPMI.
- Page 6 : VESA will try the next mode even if no information is returned
- from the current one. (Thanks to Joerg.Prust@gmd.de for finding
- this one.)
- Page 7 : Added extra information about the mouse, primarily if you have
- Microsoft Mouse driver version 7.00 or newer, or compatible.
- Page 8 : Changed the Serial Port detection method. Also, 16550 FIFO's
- are disabled unless the 'F' command is given on the command
- line.
- Modified the Sound Blaster detection to restore modified
- ports. Should fix 'lost mouse' problems.
- Added Gravis UltraSound detection. (untested)
- Page 9 : If DOS 5 is detected, INFOPLUS will display the revision letter,
- and if DOS is using the HMA, or is based in ROM.
- Page 10: CDROM detection should work, but higher risk of false detection.
- Page 15: Added several partition type names.
- Page 18: Added Advanced Power Managment Specification.
- Corrected 386^Max Windows support info.
- Added extra information about Hyperdisk for versions 4.50 or
- newer.
- If Stacker is found, will display drive letters used, and what
- drive letters have been swapped, if any.
- Page 19: Added display of what interrupts an AMIS TSR has hooked.
