xSysInfo v0.8.0

Highlights

This is a "clean out the issue tracker release", implementing lots of fixes and a few suggestions made along the way in the various issues that accumulated in the last few weeks. xSysInfo 0.8.0 adds PCI-aware board reporting, more robust disk benchmarking, fuller CLI reports, optional dark mode, and a new CPU hardware page with VBR/SSP/cache details.

What's Changed

Hardware and Boards

• Show physical Zorro boards and real PCI devices separately.
• Hide OpenPCI virtual resource boards that previously appeared as fake Zorro II/III devices.
• Resolve PCI card names through identify.library and the PCI database.
• Format expansion board serial numbers as unsigned IDs, using hex for larger values.
• Add a CPU hardware page for CPU/FPU/MMU, VBR, SSP, cache, burst, copyback, and SuperScalar controls.
• Show identify.library's Amiga model guess when available.
• Format Ramsey revisions as Ramsey 4 (0D), Ramsey 7 (0F), or Unknown (xx).

Drives and Benchmarks

• Adapt disk speed tests to device DMA constraints from DosEnvec.
• Respect MaxTransfer and Mask limits when selecting benchmark buffers.
• Retry disk benchmark buffers in chip memory when required by older DMA controllers.
• Remove Forbid()/Permit() from disk I/O timing so wrapper devices can make progress.
• Reject short or zero-byte reads during speed tests.
• Preserve the selected drive after entering and exiting the SCSI view.
• Show filesystem DOS IDs, for example Fast File System (DOS\1).
• Show physical block size plus filesystem block size or OFS payload size.
• Fix OFS floppy display so 512-byte blocks no longer appear as only 488-byte blocks.

CLI and Reports

• Replace the old TEXT mode with BRIEF.
• Add FULL mode for complete CLI reports.
• Run benchmarks before FULL output so speed fields are populated.
• Sync FULL output with more UI views, including MMU entries, extended hardware, memory regions, drive geometry, and speeds.

User Interface

• Add optional dark mode via the DARK CLI option or Workbench ToolType.
• Fix text drawing on AfA_OS and proportional-font systems by measuring text before rendering.
• Clip software, board, SCSI, speed, requester, button, and overlay text to their columns.
• Keep status overlays passive and only use Forbid()/Permit() around CPU and memory benchmark timing.
• Rename hardware detail tabs to OVERVIEW, CPU, and CHIPSET, with updated localized labels.

Packaging and Compatibility

• Drop unused 680x0.library from the boot disk; TinySetPatch now opens CPU-specific MMULib libraries directly.
• Raise packaged launch stack size to 32 KiB.
• Use prefixed NSD query field names for better NDK compatibility.
• Include Hungarian catalog corrections.
