The System Information menu is designed to provide the
necessary  information for determining the appropriate
method of correcting system failures.  The information
ranges from the System Type, Adapters,  Devices, CMOS
Settings, Partition Configurations, and POS Registers.
If neccessary  the Data within CMOS or the Fixed Disk
Partitons may be edited within this menu.
#2 9 14 54 5
The Batch menu is designed for running multiple tests
in a continuous or passbound nature.   This is useful
in testing newly assembled systems,  and systems with
intermitant problems.   This menu allows for saving a
selected pattern of tests and creating a report log.
#3 8 15 51 7
The Diagnostic menu is designed to physically test
the major components in the system.  This includes
the processor,  DMAs,  PICs,  Coprocessor, Memory,
Floppies,  Fixed Disks,  Serial Ports,  Parallel
Ports, and the primary Video Adapter/Monitor.  The
Diagnostic menu also allows a low level format of
floppy and fixed disks, including IDEs.
#4 9 12 57 5
The Utilites menu offers specialized features to examine
all real mode memory,  editors for floppy and fixed disk
media,  the ability to automatically rebuild the master
boot-loader,  floppy head cleaning,  color or monochrome
selection, and version information.
#5 10 12 56 4
The Quit menu is designed to quit and reboot the system
when booted from Micro-Scope or to quit and exit to O/S
when loaded under another operating system. The exit to
O/S will not be displayed when booted from Micro-Scope.
#6 4 9 65 16
The  System Configuartion  screen displays the exact system type
for IBM systems ( IBM PS2 Model 50 ).    Compatible systems will
display PC XT or PC AT.   The revision bytes for the system will
be displayed under the system type.    The last revision date of
the BIOS will be displayed on the right hand side of the screen.
The Detected Hardware column will display the equipment that was
physically detected by the system during POST and the results of
Additional testing by the diagnostic.       The CMOS column will
display the CMOS settings.   IBM or compatible PC and XT systems
will show the switch settings instead of CMOS settings.    If an
asterisk (*) is displayed,  there is a mismatch between Detected
Hardware and CMOS settings (switch settings on PCs and XTs). The
exact CPU type (i80486DX rev. 11) may be displayed when booted
from Micro-Scope.  If loaded under DOS only the family type will
be displayed (80486).  If an EMS driver is present,  the size of
Expnaded Memory, and Page Frame will be displayed.
#7 4 11 58 17
The Active ROM Search will display the memory location of
any active adapter ROM BIOS.     Adapters with ROM occupy
memory addresses from C0000 to DFFFF in IBM systems,  and
up to EFFFF in compatible systems.  The Active ROM Search
will attempt to identify the type of ROM (VGA etc.).   If
further information is needed for the ROM:
1. Go to Utilities.

2. Go to Memory Examine.

3. Enter the beginning segment displayed in Active ROM
    Search.

4. This will display the actual information within the
   ROM.    The copyright will normally be displayed in
   the ASCII field on the right hand side of the screen
   near the begining of the ROM address.

#8 4 10 60 17

The IRQ Assignments screen is seperated into 5 columns with
2 options.

Column 1 - Lists the IRQs by numbers. PC and XT sytems will
have from 0 to 7 IRQs.  AT systems will have 0 to 15 IRQs.

Column 2 -  Lists the Status ( Disabled or Enabled ) of the
IRQ lines.    The IRQ lines for certain devices such as the
System Timer, Keyboard, Cascade, Floppy, Redirected Cascade
Coprocessor if installed, and Fixed Disks(MFM,RLL,IDE only)
should be enabled at all times. Most other devices will not
enable the respective IRQ lines, until in actual use.   The
Check IRQ's, and the User defined functions are designed to
cause devices  to toggle the  appropriate IRQ line on which
they are installed.

!

Column 3 - Lists the I/O Port for the device present on the
IRQ line.

Column 4 - Lists the Devices present on the IRQ line.  Some
devices should always be present, such as the System Timer,
Keyboard, Cascade, Floppy, Redirected Cascade and the Fixed
Disk whether installed or not.

Column 5 - Lists the Memory Vectors. Initial Memory Vectors
are all pointing the System ROM BIOS (F000:????).  Adapters
with a ROM BIOS may subsitute their own Vector (C800:????).
O/S's(other than M2000 O/S), Software Drivers, and Software
programs can substitute their own Vectors.  Boot to the O/S
with appropriate drivers loaded, run Micro-Scope,   and the
substituted Memory Vectors can now be displayed.

!

(C)  Check Interrupts will perform a series of tests on the
standard I/O ports to detect any Serial (Ser), Modem (Mod),
Parallel (Par),  and LAN (Lan) deivces.    If the device is
found the status will be updated to active,    the I/O Port
will be updated to the I/O port address (maximum of 3), and
Device will be updated to the type of device (max. of 3).
Note: If a device is found the I/O Port information will be
correct.

(U) User Defined allows the user to toggle non-standard I/O
ports to detect serial, modem, parallel, and LAN devices on
non-standard I/O ports.
Note:  When installing new devices into a system toggle the
specific I/O port desired for use to insure no other device
is using the I/O Port or IRQ line needed.
