Introduction

SysInfo is an application for Motorola 680x0 based Classic Amiga and is used for getting information about the system like OS and library versions, hardware revisions and stuff.

Exactly 19 years after version 3.24 of SysInfo it's time for an update! The original author Nic Wilson has kindly given me permission to continue the maintenance of this old classic.

Download

Download latest stable released version.

SysInfo.lha lha arhive.

SysInfo.adf bootable disk image (try it).

Beta or Release Candidate

A If you want information when new versions of SysInfo is available, please subscribe here. Download latest Beta or Release Candidate here, please report bugs and feature requests:

SysInfo 4.5 beta 12 (2021-01-28) (try it)

Removed references to "Dhrystones" because SysInfo doesn't implement it correctly.
Added a Chip/Fast/ROM speed test, see SysInfo.guide for more info.
Added a speed test button in Memory info window.
Refactoring of chip detection.
Refactoring of boards handling.
Redesigned BOARDS view to handle longer Manufacturer & Product names (increased from 13 to 15 chars)
Added some support for Manufacturers reusing the same ID.
Added all 637 AutoConfig boards from Holger Hippenstiel SysinfoBoards.lha with permission.
Changed argument parsing handling to standard Amiga DOS parameters (now supports SysInfo ?)
Added HELP CLI Argument which prints a short help text.
Added NOFPU CLI Argument and Icon ToolTypes, if set, all FPU routines are disabled.
Added some "eye candy".
Huge refactoring of print routines
Code refactoring to make the code more manageble, decrease file size and mem usage.

Known problems in beta 10:

Scrollist gets stuck in an endless loop when you scroll after a speed test.
CLI argument TEST do not work yet and will crash with a guru.
In some cases 1MB Agnus is identified as 2MB Agnus.

Known problems

The benchmark results provided by SysInfo is currently not verified on M68060 Amigas and useless in emulators set up to emulate faster than early classic amigas!

Two reports of 1 MB ECS Agnus (NTSC 8372A) identified as a 2 MB Agnus.

When using tools to rearrange windows, "dialogs" can be put behind the main window.

In WinUAE, when enabling "Fast as possible" & JIT it craches after Speed test when scrolling the libraries list.

I want more bug reports! Mail it to SysInfo (at) d0.se or use the contact form.

History

SysInfo 4.4 (11-Nov-20)

download

adf (try it)

Changed handling of speed numbers, if big, don't print decimals
Replaced "Chip Speed vs A600" algoritm to use a lot less instructions and a lot more CHIP mem accesses resulting in a more relevant value. This results in significantly lower value for machines with instruction cache (68020+), which is more accurate because instruction cache should not affect CHIPMEM access speed.
Added support for AC68080 frequenc support
Update will no longer try to open 68040/68060.library when there is no such CPU
Bugfix: 68040/68060 non FPU guru fixed, again!
Lots of updates/corrections in the SysInfo.guide documentation.
Lots of code cleanup

SysInfo 4.3 (27-Sep-19)

download

adf (try it)

ADF image distribution
Identifies APOLLO-Core 68080 CPU/FPU
Better hanfling of 68060 CPU/FPU identification
Bugfix: 68040 non FPU guru fixed
Experimental adf release http://sysinfo.d0.se
Documentation in AmigaGuide format and experimental html

SysInfo 4.2 (13-Jul-19)

download

Intermediate release with better utilization of pipelining in 68040 and newer CPUs in "Dhrystone" calculation implementation.

SysInfo 4.0 (07-Nov-12)

download

19 years later, a new maintainer, a new release. (tnx Nic Wilson)
Crasch due to assumed accessable memory at $2000 changed to $4000. (tnx Piru)
Updated memory size calculation in Memory Info to handle 64MB+ sizes correctly.
Updated board size calculation to handle 64MB+ correctly, added MB suffix for sizes greater than 2MB.
Several small corrections in the code.
Added some support for identificate of 68060, more to do. Doesn't yet handle the difference between LC/EC versions.
Fixed some bugs regarding 68060 handling like always open 68040.library
Added identification of UAE Autoconfig™ boards.
Added identification of Individual Computers GmbH Germany (www.icomp.de) Autoconfig™ boards. (tnx Jens Schönfeld)
New contact information: https://sysinfo.d0.se SysInfo (at) d0.se.

Thanks to you and Nic.

To compare the PiStorm (JIT) with original Amigas it would make sense to test the CPU speed based on the system clock. E.g. for a minute... So the compilation time would count too...

Response:

I've tried a few ways to handle JIT, but it's tricky. I already scale calculations based on CPU speed, but it's still not enough.

Also, does it really make sense to measure how well JIT can optimize a synthetic speed test? A JIT developer could even detect the test and fake a crazy result. With JIT enabled, CPU speed tests don't - and never will - reflect the perceived machine speed.

But I'm open to a discussion...

Yes, bug fixes are moving slowly (due to various life factors), and work is being done to update the drive benchmark routines.

Stefan Reinauer
at 2023-07-15 00:22:41:
Can you take a look at the drive speed algorithm in sysinfo?

It quite frequently prints 6553600 bytes/sec (Which seems to be 0x10000 * 100), so there seems to be an overflow in there somewhere.

In the ReA4091 project Chris and I were using his devtest utility which put quite a bit of thought into how to improve result accuracy: github.com/cdhooper/amiga_devtest

@Toni Wilen (WinUAE)
Q: A decent benchmark suitable for WinUAE? AmigaMARK?

A: I don't know. P96Speed is fine, except those 2 tests because it made bad timer choice. At least it does not have the biggest problem: test run taking almost no time with JIT active.

Main requirements are: timing should use CIA timers, test length should adjust to CPU speed. It is "bad" test if it takes less than few seconds with JIT.

Not just me wondering if anything is being cooked.
The last few versions sadly have many issues on pimped up amigas.
It would be nice if the current maintainer tried to run it with MuForce
and fixed all the hits it creates, would make a solid application then.
In current form it's more a one time wish me luck thing,
and better reboot after if it did not crash in the process.
And the problem with too many drives is really disappointing.

I have an Expert Services Rejuvenator, how would I find out the product number and name/desc for the last two fields of S:SysInfo.Boards so I can add it to SysInfo.Boards? Is the info somehow contained in the Rejuvenator, or is it on a list at Hyperion or somewhere?

Response:

at 2022-08-31 09:10:17:
Unfortunately, it looks like Expert Services Rejuvenator does not support Autoconfig and therefore it lacks vendor id and product id.

Hi, any chance you could add DMAC info for A3000(T) machines - Sysinfo v2 used to state DMAC Old or New to show whether 02 or 04 was detected - it?d be nice to get this functionality back. Also, any chance of DSP detection for those lucky people who own an AA3000 or AA3000+ ?

in latest beta it shows MMU: 6803 (IN USE) <-last zero missing.
in beta and all earlier versions show largest block of fast ram to largest block regardless of what the largest block is for the current memory displayed.

I have 16M of 32-bit fast, 2M of fast ram and 1M of chip ram.
chip ram shows ok, but Largest Block for fast ram is the largest block of 32-bit ram. Machine is A500/030/supra drive.

Good to see program updated!

at 2017-03-28 22:49:40:
To use this programm on an Amiga 2000 I would need an adf file, so this is not provided?
I did copy it to an emppty adf floppydisk using FS-UAE but under FS-UAE it works but when I copy the adf file to an USB Stick using it with Gotek on an Amiga 2000 the floppy is allways empty. So why is not an adf provided? I do not have internet access on my amiga and I think the programm is used on a lot of amigas without internet access. So every one has to do that task? I even can not do it? How do you deal with it

It would be nice to have also an adf download, like sysinfo.adf.
