Posting v1.61 in a attempt to fix the PS/2 issues you've seen (except the hang at GUS check).

Model 30 still has the blank screen issue, wierdly the image corruption on next program launch does not appear every time.
Model 30-286 memory amounts are fixed and everything else seems to be OK too.
Model 50 MCA bus info is still not working, when I hit "Enter" an empty "MCA Slots Configuration" screen appears for a fraction of a second and then goes back to the "Bus Info" screen.

Thanks for the report!
Posting v1.62 to hopefully fix both issues:
[version pulled as there's a newer one]
Please let me know the results.

The MCA slots configuration screen now shows up on the Model 50. However, the adapters listed are incorrect - see attached picture of IBM's config utility.

I think it will be very useful on the old-MB that I have on the bench, I will try to try it on the Siemens D1107 with PII 350, it is a slot1 with 440BX chipset, 128MB of ram, I have to add a sound card and see to connect an HD, currently I use the usual IDE-CF adapter, the memory card is 256MB with DOS (it was for a 386 or 486).
I have already downloaded the file, for the HWI16 version I will see in these days to fix the faulty power supply of the 286, I hope to be able to fix it, but this cannot be said if I do not start working on it.

Thanks, but can you please also either manually walk thru all screens or use -r parameter and generate a new report + debug files?

Sorry for the delay. The floppy drive didn't want to work for a while.

Thank you. This issue will be fixed in the next build.

Is it ok to use this build on a 386 pc, or detection of cpu's above 286 was entirely removed?
I have a 386DX40 board with IIT 3c87 math coprocessor.
This app version does not show the cpu type or frequency, and misidentifies the coprocessor for Intel 8087 @ 122 MHz.
It detects the chipset correctly (UMC 82C491) and shows the audio card in the Peripherals section, but fails to show anything in the System Information->Bus Info section.

HWiNFO16 is as per thread title only for 8086-286. For 386 and later use HWiNFO for DOS.

I have just ran the latest version of HWINFO16 on a IBM model 30 PS/2 (having replaced the 8086 with a Nec V30). The question that I have is whether the tool is able to report the IRQ assignments correctly. According to the information that I have been able to find, the model 30 8086 only has 8 interrupts (0-7). COM ports are on 3 and 4, HDD on 5, floppy on 6, and LPT1 on 7. HWINFO16 reports 16 IRQ's, but this does not seem right. I tried to run MSD on this machine, but it locks up when probing for the IRQ's. Any thoughts?

You're right, this doesn't seem to be reported properly. AFAIR, XTs have only 8 IRQs and this is not properly accounted for in HWiNFO16. I'll try to fix this in the next build.
Can you please post the resulting LOG and DBG files from HWiNFO16? I'd like to see how it worked and whether there's anything else needed to be adjusted.

Here are the debug and log files. They are a bit disappointing maybe. The debug file prints a list of actions, not the results. The log file is not complete, as in the peripheral section the process hangs on the detection of the GUS on port 210. I think that this particular failure has been reported before.

Ah, I know see that the GUS problem may be caused by the presence of an ethernet card. I have an UMC UM9008F, so I will pull that and redo the check.
