Announcing System Information, )1989-91 by Paul Kolenbrander 
 
This program has been uploaded to FTPsite ab20.larc.nasa.gov 
(128.155.23.64)  a while ago into the /incoming directory as 
si20a.lzh'. It now resides in /amiga/utilities/system/opsys/ 
as 'si20a.lzh' and is 59612 bytes in size. As of the 19th of 
March the program's current (released) version is 2.0a.  
 
                      Description. 
 
System_Information is basically a (Show)Config type program.  
It is however fully Intuitionized and much more versatile as  
Commodore's Config program. Version 2.0a recognizes about 80  
product codes and around 40 manufacturer Id's and displays a  
description of these. The program consists of three modules:  
- Cards      This module tells all about AutoConfig cards.  
- Drives     This module tells all about mounted drives.  
- SysInfo    Gives information about vectors, processortypes  
             and other useful information.  
  
The modules contain hidden gadgets to provide even more info  
about a particular card or device.  All this is explained in  
the manual that comes with the program. [suffix .Guide. ;-)]  
 
                      Distribution. 
  
The program is ShareWare. However the version on AB20 is not  
crippled or less functional than the registered version.  It 
only contains a requester that reminds you it is 'ShareWare' 
when you exit the program. 
  
                      Requirements. 
 
The program has no special requirements. It will run on most 
Amiga's, including A3000, A500plus and the new A600. 
 
                       Contents. 
 
The archive contains the following files: 
 
- System_Information_2.0a 
- System_Infornation_2.0a.info 
- System Information.Guide 
- System_information.Guide.info 
 
                      Other info. 
 
If you use the program, and even if you don't think I should  
deserve a contribution _please_ do send me information about  
cards or manufacturers the program doesn't recognize so I am  
able to program those in. Just use the FileIt option to dump  
that particular board to a file and put a description of the  
card and it's manufacturer name in there to. Then just Email  
it to the address below. Thanks!
