Hello: I am the system adminstrator for many NCR towers in the Las Vegas area. I have situations arise where I want to be able to find out how much memory I have on the computer. Where can I look to find this? -- Jack Alexander

Where can I look to find this? In Tower32/[64]xx Rel 2.0x there is a program called show (/etc/show). This program is run when you go multiuser and the output saved in /etc/show.out. One line of the output is: Total Good Physical Memory: 16771072 Bytes (Decimal) On Tower32/200 and Tower32/700 and probably Tower32/600 (Rel 3.xx) the equivalent program is /etc/sysdef. It is not run at boot time. On a 700 the output contains these lines: Memory Carrier 0: 16 Megabytes Memory Carrier 1: 0 Megabytes -- -Mike Wescott mike.wescott@ncrcae.Columbia.NCR.COM

Try echo "maxmem/D" | awk /unix /dev/kmem for maximum user memory, or echo "physmem/D" | awk /unix /dev/kmem for physical memory. Multiply this number by the clicksize (1024 I think, look in /usr/include/sys/param.h for NBPC) (Tower 32/800; don't know about other models). This is the test used by the compress software to detemine how much memory it can use. -- Tom Bertelson DISCLAIMER: My opinions are my own and Tom.Bertelson@Dayton.NCR.COM in no way reflect those of my employer. ...!uunet!ncrlnk!cipc1!tbertels

Only the AP's have memory that a user process can use: * * Slot Module Name Status Memory Size Load Name * ---- ----------- ------ ----------- --------- 0 a000 GOOD 0x01000000 /ap.68k 1 a100 GOOD 0x01000000 /ap.68k 2 a200 GOOD 0x01000000 /ap.68k 3 a300 GOOD 0x01000000 /ap.68k 4 a400 GOOD 0x01000000 /ap.68k 5 a500 GOOD 0x01000000 /ap.68k 6 f200 GOOD 0x00100000 /fp.020 7 f300 GOOD 0x00100000 /fp.020 8 f400 GOOD 0x00100000 /fp.020 10 m0s0 GOOD 0x00100000 /tp.cchp 11 t000 GOOD 0x00100000 /tp.010 12 t100 GOOD 0x00100000 /tp.010 13 t200 GOOD 0x00100000 /tp.010 14 t300 GOOD 0x00100000 /tp.010 15 f000 GOOD 0x00200000 /fp.020 16 f100 GOOD 0x00200000 /fp.020 17 e000 GOOD 0x00100000 /ep.tcp 18 a600 GOOD 0x01000000 /ap.68k 19 a700 GOOD 0x01000000 /ap.68k * So this system has 128Mb of memory on 8 AP's. Please, kids, don't try this at home; it's not a supported configuration. -- -Mike Wescott mike.wescott@ncrcae.Columbia.NCR.COM

If you are running NCR release 2.0X.0X on a 32/4X0-6X0, the show(1M) command. It will give you all sorts of information about what kind of PMC, SUS Level, Multi-Bus boards present, their address(es), what kind of disk and tape drives, what size memory boards. On a 32/8X0, the only way I know of is to check the memory configuration from the SUS startup menus. On a 32/4X0-6X0, you can get a click map of valid memory segments. Also on a 32/4X0-6X0 when the system is booting, it will tell you how much memory you have. -- Steve Bridges | NCR - USDPG Product Marketing and Support OLS Steve.Bridges@Dayton.NCR.COM | Phone:(513)-445-4182 622-4182 (Voice Plus) ..!ncrlnk!usglnk!pmday_2!steve | AOPA #916233 ..!uunet!ncrlnk!usglnk!pmday_2!steve| PP-ASEL, AMEL

Where can I look to find this? > >-- Jack Alexander A couple of approaches: - if you're running on a Tower 32 with Unix 2.01 or higher, the show(1M) command will tell you all about the hardware configuration. Caution: the man page says to only run it when there is no other system activity. - for older releases, boot the system in manual mode and do a QUERY function. Pick the EXAMINE SYSTEM CONFIGURATION or EXAMINE SYSTEM SIZE option (depending on firmware release), and look for the display of GOOD CLICKS. You'll see a list of hexa- decimal ranges: each click is 2K of memory. So if you see up to 03FF (=1023 decimal) that means you have 2 MB. Note the click map may be discontinuous depending on the sizes of memory boards on the system. - hardware hacker's approach: open the system and look at the memory boards (turn off the battery before taking them out!)
