Dear friends!

My project (http://os2.ru/projects/sysinfo/indexeng.shtml) SysInfo/2 is
updated up to ver. 0.63. You can download new archive from project
homepage (http://os2.ru/projects/sysinfo/sysinfo063.zip) or from Hobbes
(for now from pub/incomming and next will be moved to
/pub/os2/util/system/).
Due to your kindly help many errors were corrected since SysInfo/2 ver.
0.60. Now, SysInfo/2 is tested to work with all IBM KERNEL's from
TESTCASE. A list of all errors that were corrected you can find here
(http://os2.ru/projects/sysinfo/verlisteng.shtml).

If you find some other error or misspelling - please, try to wrote me a
letter with bug description and send me screenshot, if possible. All
bugreports are kindly velcome!

Best regards, Alexey Smirnov.

E-mailed and posted.

1. Sysinfo/2 0.63 identifies my OS as WSeB + FP1 rather than as Warp4 +
FP14.

2. It lists my Archive SCSI tape drive among the CD-ROM drives.

Alexey:
It is getting better, But there are some bugs:
1. Unlike build 0.60 this one reports OS/2 build level 9.36 as fixpack
9, when it is fixpack 12.
2. The audio in and out labels are reversed: eg. Mic should be Audio In,
Headphone should be Audio Out, and Speaker should be Audio Out.
3. Hauppauge Wincast Tv device driver version is reported as 1.21J and
it should be 1.42B, but this might be a build error in the driver.
4. During scan of devices, the Wincast TV is turned on and the audio
plays and plays, etc.
5. When moving from the Multimedia page in either direction: next page
or previous page, the application traps with this error message:
"Access violation exception EGPFault at CS:EIP=$0000005B:$1BD4CFA0
at $1BD4CFA0 -> $00039475. Terminate program?" The system crashes
shortly thereafter.

. . . and (continued from my earlier report) it reports that my Matrox
Millennium G400 video card has 1MB of RAm instead of 32MB.

I now see that I got off easy. It claims my ATI M64 (4MB RAM) has 3MB.

Alexei...

I have your SysInfo/2 v0.63. I have a few questions.

1) I have five COM ports on my system, three conventional IDE ones and
two on a Byterunner two-port PCI card. On the System page of your
notebook, the Ports line says there are three RS232 ports. On the
System Device Tree page, there are lines for five COM ports and five
UARTs. Is there a justification for not including my COM4 and COM5 in
the count of RS232 ports?

2) Video Memory is shown as ~3MB, although there are 4MB on my ATI M64
display card. This sort of thing has been pointed out elsewhere in
this thread. Is this a bug, or is there a reason why the remaining
"~1MB" doesn't show up?

3) Just out of curiosity, why does the Systems page describe my Warp4
system as "OS/2 Warp Server for e-business "Aurora" (Ver. 2.45
Revision: 0)"?

As reported elsewhere:

1) Warp4 + Fixpack 12 reported as OS/2 build level 9.36 as fixpack 9.

2) 4Mb Matrox Millenium reported as having 3Mb

No. I have reported that my 4MB ATI M64 is also reported as having
3MB. Evidently, it isn't display-card specific.
