- 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.

-
- Thanks:

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