A hardcopy printout or file of your system's information is also available
as an option. Standard Output redirection is also available for use in
batch files by simply adding "/F" as a SysChk parameter.
For example "SYSCHK /f > MyInfo.txt" will create a file called MYINFO.TXT
or "SYSCHK /f" will display a text file to the console screen.
SCSI host adapter determination can sometimes cause the SCSI bus to hang.
If you wish to disable the host adapter determination then enter /S as a
SYSCHK parameter (SYSCHK /s).
