SysInfo HISTORY (HISTORY PRIOR TO V3.00 HAS BEEN DELETED)
---------------
3.18 Corrected a problem for some IDE drives in the A4000.
It seems that some brands of IDE drives do not like
reads of 128K or greater at once and some users have
not set their "MASK" value to $FFFF. The SPEED function
of SysInfo tried to use a 128K read, so I have changed
this to 64K. It fixes the problem for a Quantum IDE LP52
drive and I expect it should fix all others.
3.17 Corrected an error in the drives function. It always
used a read size of TD_SECTOR in order to fetch the
first block of the boot sector. CD-ROM drives with 2048
bytes per sector did not like this. I have changed the
read size to the id_BytesPerSector of the particular device
being read.
3.16 Fixed a bug in the dhrystones printing routine, any
subsequent printing of the number could be wrong if
it was much smaller (eg. caches off) because the
number was not erased first, and part of the old
number was left behind.
3.15 Fixed the "lies" of CLOCK function, it should now
correctly report if you have a Commodore compatible
hardware clock or not. Older versions lied on the
A1200 and A600.
3.14 Fixed an error for the 68020 CPU. The "DCACHE" gadget
was still enabled, even though the string correctly
showed N/A.
Now I have access to an A1200 I made the A1200 speed
comparison slightly more accurate.
3.13 Added a "You" string to make it more obvious which
computer the red bar was for as some users were
confused by this. (Sheeesh!!)
V3.12 Since re-arranging some of the strings in the main display
I neglected the print strings and subsequently they
were all mixed up. I have now corrected this.
V3.11 Was unfinished and I never personally released this version
but some local person posted it and it ended up on Fish, I
was most annoyed at this.
Fixed a bug on the A3000, where a guru would result
from using any of the cache gadgets after doing a speed
test.
Due to massive public demand, the Comment is back. Please
take this as a tongue-in-cheek comment, it is not to be
taken seriously.
V3.10 When the program loads my Logo is in the centre of the
screen. The logo is a map of Australia, and if you look
to right of the 'S' in 'NWS' you will see a star burst in
the location of my home town 'Toowoomba'.
Thanks to Kurt Boulter from Don Quixote Software for the
logo graphics.
Removed all the Memory amount displays from the main screen
as it was rather redundant with the 'Memory' function gadget.
This also allowed for larger and better strings for some of
the other displays.
Removed the DMAC display, as it looks like the revised
chip will not be released. It seemed pointless to look for
a newer chip if they are not going to release it.
Six new gadgets to manipulate cache modes. This requires
V2.0 AmigaDOS or later. See main doc for more info.
Chip memory comparison has changed so the comparison
is done against a standard A600 instead of an A3000.
V3.04 - V3.09
In house only.
V3.03 Added the ability to recognise the new AGA chipset.
'AGNUS TYPE' has changed to 'DMA/Gfx' and 'DENISE TYPE'
has changed to 'Display' and these can now show if ALICE
and LISA are present.
Removed the PP&S Mercury card speed comparison in preference
to the new A4000.
Removed the A2000 GVP A3001 speed comparison in preference
to the new A1200.
V3.02 Small subtle changes.
V3.01 Had to change the COPYBACK display, since version
37.10 of 68040.library, Commodore has completely
changed their use of the Copyback mode. The routine
is capable of check both ways aswell as Set040's usage.
V3.00 First release of new version. V2.79 was the last
release of version two, and the version numbers
in between have never been used. If you see versions
using these numbers they are fakes.
