I'm interested in Turbo Pascal routines which can detect
various facts about a computer's configuration.  The kinds of
facts I'm interested in are these, taken from the screen of a
commercial program called CheckIt.


     DOS Version: 3.30
        ROM BIOS: Award                       BIOS Date: 04/30/87

  Processor Type: 80286 AT Machine
Math Coprocessor: Not Present
     Base Memory: 640K                        Available: 382K
 Extended Memory: None
 EXPANDed Memory: No EMS driver installed
   Video Adapter: MDA
   Video Address: B000h                  Video RAM Size: 4K
   Hard Drive(s): Drive 0 (C:-D:) = 43M
 Floppy Drive(s): A:1.2M(5,")
  Clock/Calendar: CMOS Clock
Parallel Port(s): LPT1=378h
  Serial Port(s): COM1=3F8h
           Mouse: None                      Joystick(s): None

I'm familiar with Turbo's DOSVERSION and DISKSIZE functions, but
where I can I find public domain units or routines for some of
these other things?  (I need to be able to incorporate the
routines into a program of my own.)
