- Dear PC-INFO user:
-
- As many of you are aware, it is my policy to furnish the users of
- PC-INFO who spent the time and effort to contact me directly with
- a personal copy of new releases. PC-INFO, Version 1.66α has just
- been released for limited distribution. Tandy 1000 & 3000 series,
- Data General/1, Leading Edge Model M and some PC Limited machines
- are now recognized and correctly identified. In addition, PC-INFO
- now recognizes and correctly identifies the IBM XT/286 as well as
- the PS/2 Models 30,50,60 and 80 and the newly released '386 based
- machine from AT&T, the 6386 WGS. Descriptions of the 3 1/2" disk
- drives have been revised to display both the nominal 720K & 1.4Mb
- capacity. The descriptions of 5 1/4" disk drives have also been
- improved. PC-INFO now recognizes and identifies Intel 80387 math
- chips. In addition, those machines having the letters IBM in ROM,
- or not specifically identified by manufacturer, but which have an
- AWARD, American Megatrend (AMI), ERSO or Phoenix BIOS will be now
- identified by PC-INFO as IBM compatibles. The recognition of RAM
- disks created by various device drivers has been improved so that
- they are no longer identified as 3 1/2" or 5 1/4" floppy drives.
-
- The program used to report the machine code (in hex), ID.COM, has
- been replaced by PC-IDENT.COM. This program locates and displays
- ascii character strings found in ROM which match certain criteria
- as to character arrangements. These strings are used to identify
- the manufacturer and model of the computer being tested.
-
- Enjoy the software and keep in touch!
