- 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.

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