On this page, INFOPLUS will attempt to identify the type of computer you have, and the ROM (Read Only Memory) that it contains. Machine Type: This uses a byte in the BIOS ROM, and, on some machines, some extra information to determine the computer type, and in some cases, the exact model. If your computer is an AT or a 386/486, you get some extra information telling you about other hardware aspects of the computer. If you have a PC/XT type computer, and you see information about DMA channel 3 being used or not, you can probably disregard the information, as some clones don't properly support the function call used. BIOS source: INFOPLUS scans the computers main ROM BIOS, looking for a copyright message, which it displays. BIOS date: INFOPLUS displays what should be the date at a specific location in the ROM BIOS. BIOS extensions:Some add-in cards have ROM BIOS's of their own to handle special functions, and to extend the features of the computer. The most common are for the video and hard disk controller boards. Video BIOS's are found in all video cards except those that only support CGA or Monochrome graphics. It typcially starts at C000. (NOTE: I've noticed that some VGA cards lie about their size. If your VGA card supports extended modes such as 800x600, but the size shown is only 24K, then you might have problems with programs like QEMM and Windows 3. The BIOS's on these cards are really 32K. For QEMM, add the line X=C000-C7FF or ROM=C000-C7FF.) Unless you have an AT with an MFM controller, you'll probably have a hard disk BIOS at C800. Other common addresses are D800, and DC00. Some hard disk controllers have what seems like two BIOS. One part is only needed at boot-up and for formatting the disk.
