Bonus Disk
The bonus disk includes:
- Diagnostic and analytical tools, including TSRs that monitor current I/O and serial port status on screen
- Equipment detection routines for the disk, diskette, PCI, video, and other important aspects
- CPU detection routines to identify the CPU, FPU, speed, vendor, and other critical information, including the presence of MMX, and identity of the true instruction set.
- Utilities to identify and test undocumented CPU instructions
- A Model Specific Register (MSR) program that describes many undocumented registers by name and provides quick access to hidden registers
- Demonstration utilities to access CMOS memory, the keyboard controller and other subsystems
- View contents of the BIOS data areas with identification of function by name
Plus, you get complete documented source code for all utilities on the disk!
