SysInfo V1.4 by Nic Wilson -------------------------- Nic Wilson Software 138d South Street Toowoomba Queensland 4350 Phone (076) 358539 A/H (076) 358522 W/H (076) 358522 FAX 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 that 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 3 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 3 bit plan 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 acellerator 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 will be 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 mutitlude 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 preferably in assembler but I can translate C if I have to, but it is such a pathetic language (sorry C programmers but Assembler is so much nicer).
