Info on custom chips?

[mindprober]

Did anyone ever write a piece of software for the classic Amigas that would identify all of the revisions of the installed custom chips? I believe the only thing that came close was Nic Wilson's SysInfo. Most of the other known "system info" programs seem to only concentrate on RAM and ECS/AGA chips and not the buster, gary, dmac, etc. Is there even a way to detect the revisions in software?

Of course, I can just pop my case open and I'd have my answers, but I just closed it up after an upgrade and exposing the A3000D motherboard requires much disassembly. Yeah, I'm a little lazy also...

Hum,
i seem to recall that there were software `engineer` toolkits, available to those that wanted to do soak test and system ID...

don`t have a link for it though...
Anyone else?

Have you tried Scout?

I was wondering this too...

It would be nice to just take a floppy disk and load it into any Amiga
and all your questions answered.

How are we to know about the A4000's Buster 11? The A1200's 1D1
revision?

When I sent my Amiga for repair to Wizard Developments (now COMPUTE!)
they sent me a sheet of paper with various soak-test diagnostics on to
confirm each component had passed a test.

Maybe there are some programs out there that do rigorous tests on the
hardware that CAN identify specific custom chip revisions etc.

SysInfo 3.24 and SysSpeed 2.6 are what I use, and even SysInfo is
primitve and forces a PAL screen, recognising the '060 as a superfast
'040.

:-D :-D :-)

Includes assembler sourcecode.

PS. The program uses all sorts of evil hacks to do its' job. Expect your system to be unstable after running WhichAmiga.

You have been warned.
