Looking better-- MDA detected correctly. For the Hercules cards, maybe you could default to 64KBytes memory size º Video Chipset: Hercules Graphics º Video Card: Unknown º Video Memory Size: 4 KBytes Thanks. Yes, that will work, but it looks like the Hercules detection didn't work properly in v1.9. …

Thanks. I will adjust this to report MDA instead, however on such really retro systems it's not possible to detect the exact adapter as it doesn't feature any registers that could be used for differentiation. I'm also not aware how to properly detect display memory size in this case. Can you use …

I ran HWINFO16 v18 on two computers. The first is a true blue 5151 IBM XT with a stock 4KB IBM MDA adapter The second is an XT clone ( DTK motherboard , 64kb Suntek hercules clone display ) HWInfo16 identifies both display adapters as : º Video Chipset: Hercules Graphics º Video Card: Unknown º …

Released version 1.8: - Fixed IRQ/DMA list on XT systems - Removed GUS detection which was causing issues with NE2000 cards - Minor improvements to CPU and video adapter detection See initial post for download.

Thanks, yes it's appended to the end of LOG. I will fix the IRQ list on pre-AT systems and need to figure out somehow how to solve the GUS hang with NE2000.

Thanks for the data, it's useful for me! Yes, the check for GUS can happen if there's a NE2000 card present. I haven't figured out yet a reliable way to avoid this.

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 …

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 …

Here you go. Thanks. Btw, is there a way to understand if this machine can handle HDD in DMA mode? I don't have such option in Device Manager of Windows... HWiNFO can tell you what DMA modes the drive supports if it can query the IDE drive. If it doesn't you might need to enable Low-level IO Access …

Looks like Resetting the CPU to gather CPU ID is causing this. Without HIMEM.SYS HWiNFO needs to maintain A20M and that probably causes the issue. The entire CPU Reset and gaining control before BIOS is a peculiar operation that sometimes doesn't work properly.

Running with -d should produce Debug File that shows where it hung. Try to run with HIMEM.SYS only if that will work then.

When I start hwinfo I get the following error: "Cannot run it under OS/2". After that I can only press OK which closes the program. I am running it on DR-DOS 6.0 with Qemm 9.0 though. Funny thing is it's running hwinfo16 without problems. Also it works after a clean boot (so only DR-DOS 6.0). …
