BOARDS GADGET
-------------

When this gadget  is clicked another window will open  and display various
information on any AutoConfig boards found in the system. This information
consists of  the memory  address of  where the  board was  configured, its
size, and the type  of board. The types to date, can be  ZORRO II or ZORRO
III, any others are not yet defined  by Commodore and will be displayed as
UNDEFINED.  The boards  Product  number, manufactures  ID  and the  serial
number will also  be displayed. If SysInfo recognises  the manufacturer of
the card and  or the product itself  it will display the  names instead of
the numbers.  Note that a  standard A3000  has no AutoConfigure  boards as
such, its extra  hardware is known by the special  Kickstart files and its
memory and  hard drive are  added to the  system by this  kickstart. A2000
users using zkick  to load V2.0 will also notice  that their memory boards
will not show in the AutoConfig  list, as they were actually configured by
1.3 and zkick patches them in to the memory list.

LEARN ABILITY
-------------
If Sysinfo does not  recognise a board by name, it used  to only print the
Manufacturer and  Product numbers. Since version  3.22 it now looks  in an
external file (if  it exists) in the S:  directory called "SysInfo.boards"
in an  attempt to match each  of these unknown board  numbers with strings
that you have supplied within the file.
