SYSINFO V1.4
By Nic Wilson
-------------
This program was written due to the lack of such a program on the
Amiga. It was written using HiSoft Devpac Assembler. I have placed this
program on the public domain so it can be used by everyone. I hereby give
permission for commercial publishers to distribute this program in any way
they see fit, but remember who wrote it -- credits, please.
CONDITIONS: None, except this doc file and the icons must accompany the
program.
The program hunks have been written to use public memory so it will
load into fast RAM if its available. The program requires about 100k of chip
memory and 36k of fast memory in order to run.
SPEED COMPARISONS
The A1000 CHIP ONLY comparison is against a PAL A1000 totally
unexpanded. This program has a three-bitplane screen open. This shows how
much the processor slows when running a program in chip memory while having
to contend with Agnus working overtime.
The A1000 EXTRA RAM comparison is against a PAL A1000 with SLOW RAM
addressed at $f80000. The processor returns to normal speed even though the
three-bitplane screen is open. This can show the difference in speed between
slow RAM and zero wait state memory boards. Our experience shows that it
only makes a difference of around 0.01 or one hundredth.
The A2620 comparison is against a standard B2000 with a A2620 card.
The GVP A3001 comparison is against a B2000 with a GVP A3001
accelerator card, with all caches and bursts on. The board also contained 4
megs of 32-bit wide ram.
FREE MEMORY
This shows the amount of free memory as if the program is not running,
so it is not accurate to the byte but is a very good indication of the free
pool.
Please let me know if you have any problems or bugs with this program.
NOTE
If you have mounted a special device (ie. FFS floppy) it will be seen
and counted as a hard disk.
A Super Agnus jumpered as a Fat Agnus is seen as a Fat Agnus (8371).
2000/500 clock only looks for the standard 2000 or 500 Hardare clock.
It does not look for the multitude of different clocks that were available
for the 1000.
THINGS I WOULD LIKE TO ADD
1. Ability to check Amiga model. Is it possible ?
2. Your ideas
Any suggestions should preferably be in assembler. I can translate C if
I have to, but it is such a pathetic language. Sorry, C programmers, but
Assembler is so much nicer.
Happy Computing
