Intro ################################################################## HWiNFO is a *POWERFUL* hardware detection program. It is simple, quick and on most systems very efficient. It "tries" to give only important information about all the hardware devices in your computer so that you need not look inside the PC to see what's there. ## 2. Updates and download ################################################### You can contact the author at: martin@hwinfo.com or: malik@svf.stuba.sk The newest version is always (immediately) available at: HWiNFO homepage - http://www.hwinfo.com SAC ftp - ftp.elf.stuba.sk/pub/pc/utildiag SAC WWW - www.sac.sk At other sitez/BBS later... SimTel - ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/msdos/sysinfo SAC mirrors - ftp.sac.sk/pub/sac/utildiag ftp.cdrom.com/pub/sac/utildiag ftp.uakom.sk/pub/mirrors/sac/utildiag ftp.vse.cz/pub/msdos/SAC/pc/utildiag ftp.bke.hu/pub/mirrors/sac/utildiag esca.atomki.hu/paradise/sac/utildiag ftp.externet.hu/pub/mirror/sac/utildiag ftp.osb.hu/pub/mirrors/sac/utildiag ftp.cs.tu-berlin.de/pub/msdos/mirrors/stuba/pc/utildiag ftp.pwr.wroc.pl/pub/pc/sac/utildiag cert.unisa.it/pub/PC/SAC/utildiag ftp2.itb.it/pub/PC/SAC/utildiag ftp.comp.hkbu.edu.hk/pub/sac/utildiag ftp.nsysu.edu.tw/PC/SAC/utildiag ## 3. Requirements ########################################################### - 80386 or better CPU - cca. 500 KBytes of free System Memory - cca. 1.5 MBytes of free XMS Memory (XMS manager recommended) ## 4. Utilities distributed with HWiNFO ###################################### There are four utilities distributed along with HWiNFO: GETBIOS.COM This utility retrieves all BIOS images and saves them to files <BIOSseg>.ROM This program doesn't run in V86 mode in order to avoid BIOS relocation. GETDDC.COM This utility saves VESA Display Data Channel data to file DDC.DAT if your video card and monitor support DDC GETPCI.EXE This utility stores all data from PCI configuration space registers into files <VendorID><DeviceID>.PCI GETPNPRS.EXE This utility saves resource data for all Plug-and-Play capable devices into files PNP<CSN>.RES GETSMBUS.EXE This utility reads data from all devices connected to SMBus (e.g. HW monitors, P.I.ROM, Scratch EEPROM, SPD DIMM...) and saves to files SMBUS<ADR>.DAT These utilities are free and are designed to help me improve HWiNFO if you send me the results. ## 5. Registration ########################################################### HWiNFO is shareware, meaning that you can test the program for free whilst checking if it is useful for you. The public (unregistered) version has all the features as the registered version except the "Create report file" feature. The other disadvantage is the message that HWiNFO isn't registered and that you have to press a random key while the results are shown. If you think you could use this program and don't want to see that stupid message, or if you continue using it after a trial period of 14 days, you should register. Otherwise after this period HWiNFO becomes an illegal copy and you have to delete it (ho-ho-ho :-)). If you decide to register, you should print out the file REGISTER.FRM, fill it and send to the address in the file. If you include your Internet e-mail address, you will receive the key file via e-mail, otherwise snail mail. Once you have obtained the key file needed to register, copy it to the HWiNFO directory and the current version will become registered. Of course, you mat not distribute the key file, it's only for your personal use. Well, the Registration fee is: ╔══════════════════╦══════════════════╗ ║ Non-Commercial ║ Commercial ║ ╠═════╤═════╤══════╬═════╤═════╤══════╣ ║ DEM │ US$ │ Sk/KC║ DEM │ US$ │ Sk/KC║ ╔═══════════════╬═════╪═════╪══════╬═════╪═════╪══════╣ ║ 1 User ║ 35 │ 20 │ 500 ║ 70 │ 40 │ 1000 ║ ╟───────────────╫─────┼─────┼──────╫─────┼─────┼──────╢ ║ 2-10 Users ║* 30 │* 16 │* 450 ║ 60 │ 32 │ 900 ║ per copy ╟───────────────╫─────┼─────┼──────╫─────┼─────┼──────╢ ║ 11-20 Users ║* 25 │* 13 │* 400 ║ 50 │ 26 │ 800 ║ per copy ╟───────────────╫─────┼─────┼──────╫─────┼─────┼──────╢ ║ 21-50 Users ║* 20 │* 10 │* 300 ║ 40 │ 20 │ 600 ║ per copy ╟───────────────╫─────┼─────┼──────╫─────┼─────┼──────╢ ║ 51-100 Users ║* 15 │* 7 │* 200 ║ 30 │ 14 │ 400 ║ per copy ╟───────────────╫─────┴─────┴──────╫─────┴─────┴──────╢ ║ UNLIMITED ║Contact the author║Contact the author║ ╚═══════════════╩══════════════════╩══════════════════╝ * for schools, educations, etc. When registering with a check or wire transfer please add 10% to the total price to cover bank transfer and conversion costs.

Please read Terms of License at the end of this file. You should register NOW ! ## 6. Creating a logfile ##################################################### There are three possible methods how to create a logfile: 1. Simple log After pressing the <F2> key, HWiNFO adds the results from current screen to a logfile. 2. Report file ("-r" switch) [REGISTERED VERSION ONLY] HWiNFO creates AUTOMATICALLY a COMPLETE logfile at startup. This logfile has the same format as the one created with <F2> key, but there's no need to navigate HWiNFO through all the screens. 3. Short report file ("-s" switch) [REGISTERED VERSION ONLY] HWiNFO creates AUTOMATICALLY a logfile, which contains only the MOST IMPORTANT items. This format is suitable for further automatical processing (or printing) of logfiles (e.g. if you would like to create an inventory of more machines). Here's a sample of the format: CPU=Intel Pentium III Xeon, 550.0 MHz Bus=ISA + PCI + A.G.P. Chipset=Intel 82440GX AGPset Memory=128 MBytes ... VideoChipset=nVIDIA GeForce 256 DDR VideoMemory=32768 KBytes of SGRAM 3Daccel=3Dfx Voodoo 2 ... If you use a capital letter (either "-R" or "-S") the benchmark will not be performed. The "-v" switch enables Verbose Mode, where all screen outputs are supressed. The default log filename is "HWiNFO.LOG". You can change its name if you enter it as a paramater to HWiNFO (e.g. "HWiNFO.EXE -S -v HOME.LOG"). Samples of logfiles can be found at HWiNFO homepage. ## 7. Limitations ############################################################ The Mainboard Chipset identification works only on newer (≈ 1991 and above) AMI and newer AWARD BIOSes. HWiNFO is also able to detect some chipsets, not depending on the type of BIOS (see HWiNFO.LST). Fixed Disk Buffered Data Transfer rate reads data from one physical sector until 4 seconds. Some caches (like Hyperdisk; but NCACHE or SMARTDRV don't) could cause invalid results. Also some mainboards, which have incompatible timers could cause problems. Fixed Disk Average Seek receives results while seeking permanently 100* from cylinder 0 to a cylinder, which is 1/3 of the max. cylinder number. Thus some programs could report another result if they seek to an another cylinder. SCSI disks and some Cache programs (Hyperdisk) don't generate Seek requests, thus the Seek and RPM result is abnormal and HWiNFO displays <N/A>. PCMCIA detection requires Socket Services or Card Services to be installed. If you want more info about sockets, install Card Services. The VESA Local Bus can be detected only if a VLB card is present. CD-ROM benchmark requires MSCDEX.EXE (Microsoft CD-ROM Extensions) to be installed and an inserted data CD. ## 8. Running HWiNFO under V86 Memory Managers and Windows ################### In order to achieve best results, HWiNFO accesses directly the hardware. Some of the routines (privileged) require to be run in Real mode or at privilege level 0 (PL0, most privileged), but in V86 mode are all applications run at PL3. This means, if such a routine is run, the CPU raises an exception, which is handled by the V86 manager. Note, that V86 mode is the only way to run a DOS application (Real mode) under MS Windows (Protected mode). EMM (Expanded Memory Manager) also use the V86 mode to provide paging. But HWiNFO v3.00+ is able to run the privileged routines in V86 mode under some circumstances. There is a special call (called WINDOWS INIT BROADCAST), which can be used to force an V86 manager to switch to Real mode (of course, the V86 manager must support it). This call was originally used by MS Windows while starting, while an Expanded Memory Manager was running (this is needed, because EMM is running in Protected mode and Windows too). Such known EMM managers are: - Microsoft EMM386 Expanded Memory Manager - Quarterdeck QEMM386 Expanded Memory Manager - Qualitas 386MAX Expanded Memory Manager - Nu-Mega Soft-ICE Debugger ... So HWiNFO uses this call to force the manager to switch back to Real mode. HWiNFO works best under EMM386 (I haven't found any problems). But there are some disadvantages while runnig in V86 mode: - The FPU benchmark returns another results (it's slower) as in real mode. - Some V86 managers are able to relocate BIOSes, so HWiNFO won't be able to identify BIOS type and some video cards. - A crash while detecting the CPU type could happen on some older CPUs requiring CPU RESET to identify them properly. The other case is, if a manager doesn't support the call. This happens if you are running under Microsoft Windows95 OSR2 or Windows98 DOS mode. If these managers receive the Windows INIT BCAST, they display a message about running an incompatible application and stop. So the only way is to skip the privileged routines. Pre v4.4.1 of HWiNFO refused to run under this circumstances, but later versions run with the following restrictions (skip privileged routs): - CPU frequency can't be measured using TSC - CPU RESET can't be performed (this is needed only for older CPUs or to receive the Processor Number while this feature has been disabled) - TI486 Potomac CPUs can't be identified - L2 cache ECC presence can't be detected (P-II, Xeon) - CPU Update Revision can't be reported (PPro and above) - Cache state, branch prediction and instruction execution can't be reported If you try to run HWiNFO directly from Microsoft Windows (DOS box), it will refuse to continue. This is because Windows controls also access to some ports and doesn't allow a direct access from a DOS application. This means, that if HWiNFO wouldn't refuse to run, but continue, it would be unable to return info about IDE/ATAPI drives, COM/LPT ports, BIOS scan, PnP resources, Benchmarks wouldn't be accurate... Windows NT VDM (Virtual DOS Machine) is even more strict. ## 9. Resetting the CPU ###################################################### The CPU ID is available only on 386+ CPUs and HWiNFO uses three ways to obtain this ID: Method 1 - Resets the CPU while A20 is Enabled. This method works on all systems, but the Reset handler gets control after BIOS. And some BIOSes (some newer AMI/Award BIOSes) destroy CPU ID (EDX) and therefore this ID could be invalid. This method is default <Enabled> in Setup section. Method 2 - Resets the CPU while A20 is Disabled. This method works only on some machines, which do have a Fully-Terminated bus. It's the best way to obtain CPU ID, because it gets control immediately after Reset (the BIOS can't destroy EDX). I've found some problems with this method while running with Norton cache. This method is default <Disabled> in Setup section. Method 3 - Try to use this method if your BIOS destroys CPU ID. But it works only on systems, which do not have Main BIOS (area at 0F000:0) Write-Protected, because it modifies it for a bit, and then restores back. This method is on some machines the only way to obtain CPU ID. This method is default <Enabled> in Setup section. HWiNFO tries to determine CPU ID this way, via: 1. CPUID instruction 2. BIOS (INT 15h) 3. Method 2 (if Enabled) 4. Method 3 5. Method 1 If you have an UMC U5SX/SD/SLV/486DX2/SX2, Enhanced Am486DX2/DX4/DX4-WB, AMD-K5 and above, Intel 486DX/SX/DX2 SL-Enhanced, IntelDX4, IntelSX2, IntelDX2 W-B Enh. or Intel Pentium(R) and above, there is no need to Reset the CPU (these CPU support CPUID instruction). Most CPUs today support CPUID instruction. Note: NexGen Nx586 does NOT support the CPUID instruction. Cyrix 5x86 and above support the CPUID instruction only if CPUIDEN bit in CCR4 register is set. HWiNFO 3.0.7+ sets this bit automatically. Disabling "CPU ID detection via Method 1, 2 and 3" reduces your CPU detection ability. And if there's no other way to obtain this ID (via BIOS or CPUID instruction), it won't identify 386SL, i386CX/EX, 486DX2, IBM 486... and some other CPUs. Do this only if your system hangs while attempting CPU detection. Some BIOSes simply OVERWRITE the CPU ID (EDX) :-< ! In this case an invalid CPU ID is displayed and the CPU is probably incorrectly identified. If this problem occurs, try to use Method 3 (but your Main BIOS must be Write-Enabled !). If it doesn't work, try to use Method 2 (but you must have a Fully-Terminated bus !). And if HWiNFO still displays, that Method 1 was used to obtain CPU ID, not Method 2 nor 3 can obtain it. ## 10. HWiNFO Crash ########################################################## - If HWiNFO crashes while executing the CPU benchmark, please use HIMEM.SYS (or another XMS manager). - S3 ViRGE cards seem to crash while performing the TV Tuner test. If so, disable the "Check TV Tuner" option in Setup. - Stacker Compression Card and 3Com EtherLink III Adapter detection routines can cause crashes with some Network cards. You can disable them in the Configuration section (Stacker check is default disabled; 3Com EtherLink III detection is enabled). - If HWiNFO crashes while starting or while the "Flushing Disk Caches..." message is displayed, disable the "FlushDiskCache" option in HWiNFO.INI or HWiNFO|Setup. - The test for a TIGA graphics adapter may cause problems with some adapters. ## 11. Secondary Video Info ################################################## RISC Graphics Processor: currently identifies only Hitachi HD63484 ACRTC Scanning for TMS: checks for TMS340x0 processor on several ports and tries to get vendor and device name (detection routine from SPEA GDC drivers, I don't know if it works with other TMS cards too) TMS Boot EEPROM: gets info from Boot Software; this won't probably work with other cards than SPEA (I don't know :-( ) TIGA driver: gets info from TIGA driver if it's loaded (TIGACD.EXE) Also found as: identifies all SPEA Graphiti series cards from GDCINI.DAT and checks for HP IGC-20 and NEC MultiSync Graphics Engine You can obtain info such as: e.g.: RISC Graphics Processor: Hitachi HD63484 (ACRTC) Scanning for TMS: N/A TMS Boot EEPROM: N/A TIGA driver: N/A Also found as: SPEA Graphiti Flash 1G2-HE or: RISC Graphics Processor: N/A Scanning for TMS: (C) SPEA Software AG HILITE1024 TMS Boot EEPROM: SPEA HiLite1024 TIGA driver: N/A Also found as: SPEA Graphiti HiLite1024 or: RISC Graphics Processor: N/A Scanning for TMS: <I really don't know what it'll display> TMS Boot EEPROM: -||- TIGA driver: HP A1083A Intelligent Graphics Controller 20 Also found as: Hewlett Packard IGC-20 A1083A ## 12.

Miscellaneous notes ################################################### On some old motherboards, random numbers are obtained from unused I/O ports and this may cause invalid identification of some hardware (e.g. WSS). I don't know how to solve this problem. Intel Pentium(R) and above CPUs do not report, that the "APIC on-chip" feature is present. Most of them (P54C yes, but P54CQS and P54LM don't) have an on-chip APIC, but don't report it, if it isn't supported by external hardware. Dhrystone benchmark tests the performance of CPU and Memory, but only in 16-bit code. Therefore a 150 MHz Pentium Pro (which is designed and tuned especially for 32-bit code) returns a rather low Dhrystone result. So its performance while running with 16-bit applications is comparable to a 100 MHz Pentium P54C. If you have an Intel 420LX/420NX/430FX/430HX/430VX/430MX/430TX, SiS 85C501/5120/5511/5571/5581/5596/5597/5591, AMD-640 chipset or VIA Apollo VP-1/VPX/VP-2/VP3/MVP3, HWiNFO is able to detect the type of External Cache and its size direct from the PCI chipset registers. ## 16.
