I can't say anything about this particular version of
sysinfo, but most sysinfo programs I know of do very bad
things when trying to determine the speed of the processor,
for example. You can't really blame them, it's not an easy
thing to do on a machine like the Amiga.

Maybe try GvpInfo. It is available for downloading on GVP's
BBS and should also be on their latest installation disk.

Put the ROM back in (hopefully it's V3.0 or later) and make
sure J18 is shorted.

Well ...
