### Installed Hardware Information Tool (QSYSTEM)

Tool Description:

QSYSTEM provides the installed hardware information on ISA, EISA, and MCA systems. It will run in OS/2 window or full-screen sessions. You must have IOPL=YES in your CONFIG.SYS for QSYSTEM to function, otherwise QSYSTEM will not execute.

To keep the information from scrolling off the screen, type one of the following:

QSYSTEM | MORE Pipes information from QSYSTEM into the MORE command.

or

QSYSTEM -O Redirects output to the file QSYSTEM.OUT.

The first method is useful if you just want to view the information one screen at a time. The second method works best for keeping a permanent copy and being able to browse and edit the results.

Options:

-? or ? Lists options (help).

-A Lists all supported Micro Channel adapters - can be used with the -O option to redirect to a file.

-D Lists more detailed QCONFIG information - includes adapter configuration for MC, model, submodel fixed disk sectors/heads/cylinders.

-O Redirects output to QSYSTEM.OUT.

-Ofilename Redirects output to a file.

Example: QSYSTEM -Ops2data.fil

redirects output of QCONFIG to ps2data.fil.

key=value Defines a key with a value for machine information output. There is currently a limit of 10 keys.

Example: QSYSTEM User="Jeff John" "Location Site"=Austin

         Output would include:

         User             : Jeff John
         Location Site   : Austin
