OK, attached is the updated version from the start of the thread. Thanks. I'm looking into the misreporting of floppy drive but according to the 8088-PC BIOS source code you provided above it seems that it's a problem of the BIOS which always report a floppy drive present: https://github.com/ …

That's the version bundled with latest HWiNFO for DOS, but a newer HWINFO16 version can be found in the initial post of this thread: Introducing HWiNFO16 (for 8086/88/186/188/286)

I tested on EMM’s 8088 system, mostly no issues, but it did say there was a 5.25 inch floppy drive (and controller), but I have neither a controller nor a drive. It also didn’t detect Sergey Kiselev’s network card unless I had the packet driver installed. Also not sure about my sound card, it is a …

Are you still interested in random reports? If so here's a ThinkPad 365X report and debug. I've got a weird problem with a Toshiba Satellite 4000CDs where it acts like the last key you press is stuck down when in the application. I need to play with the machine more though to see if it's just a …

Tested this on an original IBM PC/AT. Was pleased with how well it worked. Enumerated the RAM from my third party expansion card correctly, even. It did not like trying to inspect my video card, however. Caused the whole system to glitch out. It's some generic EGA card, I'll have to check the model …

Will you be needing any further testing done with this CPU/FPU combination, e.g. for FPU type, speed, incorrect VLB determination, etc...? Is there a means to have the HWiNFO automatically alter the CPU reset method (1, 2, or 3) based on the type of CPU that is installed? If not, the user will need …

Well the problem here is that I'm not aware of any software method that would allow precise distinguish between some of the Cyrix FPU models, maybe it's not possible at all. And if one doesn't know the exact model and how many clocks execution of certain FPU instructions take, it's not possible to …

Thanks, this is interesting. It seems that the crash happening when Method 1 or 2 is enabled happens during normal floating-point math. So I assume when HWiNFO performs a soft-reset, some BIOS bug workarounds don't get applied or the FPU isn't re-initialized properly. FPU clock is determined by …
