RFC regarding BattLog's model info

Open FrankFromPdaSoft opened this issue 3 years ago • 1 comments

Currently NewtTest checks whether it's running under Einstein and then checks the ROM version string in order to figure out what kind of machine Einstein is currently emulating.

More than a decade after writing this code, I'm no longer happy with it because reporting whether Einstein is emulating an eMate or a 2x00 Newton doesn't convey any useful information to someone using Einstein.

So I'm contemplating reporting only "Einstein" when NewtTest finds it is running under Einstein. A helpful addition would be if the host's model name and operating system would be available from NewtonScript.

It's certainly easy to implement a request for the Einstein version in NewtonScript. All the other information is work in progress as we speak. If you need that feature, please add the enhancement tag and assign it to me, I guess.
