DOS ain't dead - ACPITOOL v1.1

ACPITOOL v1.1 (Announce)

posted by Laaca , Czech republic, 08.03.2022, 12:13

In the past I announced here my utility ACPITOOL which can examine ACPI tables in your computer, can detect the CPU topology, perform a reset or a shutdown of the computer.

Now I created the new version (1.1).
New features/switches:

/WINPK - detect the windows product key if stored in the firmware (in ACPI internals)

/Z and /ZF - solves the problem with some new notebooks which do not use the standard reset mechanism. In such machines the CTRL-ALT-Del performs not the reset but the hanging of the computer.
The /Z or /ZF switches make a ACPI analysis for reboot mechanism and keep in the memory a tiny TSR which patches the BIOS for the proper reboot after CTRL-ALT-Del. (The TSR has only about 340 bytes!)
