Hi Rick,

Not one of the latest ones but I did before the 8080 came out - it was a monster made up of discrete components on a bread board just to show ir could be done.

This reminds me, by the way ... Busicom, the company that originally contracted Intel to build their 4004 CPU that started the whole x86 affair, had developed the entire CPU in that same breadboard fashion.  They had the software, hardware, and everything designed, in the lab, in an impractical way, so that when the 4004-series chips came out, they would be ready.

There's a documentary about that too from the Computer Science Museum:  Intel 4004 Microprocessor 35th Anniversary

Today, in 2019, the 4004 is actually 48+ years old.  It will turn 50 in May 2021 I believe.

Ah, those were the days.

I've seen a lot of changes in my 80 years and I'm not sure that it is all that much better.  We now have computers built to only run windows 10 and even if you buy separate items they are still designed with windows use in mind especially motherboards and graphics cards.  Still we battle on with what we can get hence my various AMD Ryzen based computers I have built.

Hi All

I have both smartahci.exe - aka smartctl version 5.37 - and smartctl.exe 6.6 2017-04-23 r4424 installed. They simply seem to be different versions of smartmontools.

I can confirm grep works with both smartahci.exe and smartctl.exe:-

[M:\SYS\BIN]smartctl -A ahci0 | grep -i "temp"
194 Temperature_Celsius     0x0022   030   100   000    Old_age   Always       -
       30 (Min/Max 16/41)
231 Temperature_Celsius     0x0032   099   099   000    Old_age   Always       -
       1

[M:\SYS\BIN]smartahci -A hd0 | grep -i "temp"
194 Temperature_Celsius     0x0022   030   100   000    Old_age   Always       -
       30 (Lifetime Min/Max 16/41)
231 Temperature_Celsius     0x0032   099   099   000    Old_age   Always       -
       1


The smartctl.exe seems to be a later build than smartahci.exe and returns less "Unknown_Attribute" entries when run against my SSD:-

Hi All

I have to correct my above post as it only applies when os2ahci.add V1.32 is installed.

Neither smartahci.exe or smartctl.exe can be used with os2ahci.add V2.03 on 5 systems here as attempting to use either results in a locked system requiring the use of the Reset/Power Off button.

The version of smartahci is that supplied in the package with os2ahci.add V2.03 - would have been nice if AN had checked that it worked... Or is the problem just on my systems - same problem on 2 laptops and 3 desktops all running either eCS2.2b2+ or ArcaOSV5.02+.

Is os2ahci.add V2.03 the latest release of this driver? - If there is a later version what version of smartahci/smartctl is supplied?


Regards

Pete

Hi Dave

So, os2ahci.add has been updated but smartahci is the same version.

Now all I need is someone to test whether smartahci works with the updated os2ahci... I suspect the result will be a system lockup requiring a reboot.

No, it works just as badly, and just as well, as the old version works with IDE. The data is misleading, and often completely wrong. It also changes between disk manufacturers. If you understand what it is actually saying, and exactly what to look for, it MAY tell you something useful. It has been my experience that , so called, SMART monitoring is a total waste of time, and effort. You are far better off to simply do proper, tested, backups.

I don't know why anybody would want a "graphical" interface, just redirect the output to a file, and look at it in an editor (that is what I did here). You could also do a simple REXX thing, to track whatever might interest you. I also suggest that you look up what the disk manufacturer means by the various numbers. They aren't always what the program says they are.

Note the "fail" line. About 8 years ago, this disk was in my brother's machine. The BIOS refused to use the disk, because of those lines (with no way to ignore them). After some analysis, we replaced the disk (not because it wasn't working, but because the machine refused to use it). I put the disk into a USB enclosure (which doesn't care about this stuff), and started to copy the data. OOOPS! the new disk had the same problem. After replacing the SATA cable, and resetting the controller, it was okay. Fortunately, we got that before the disk was corrupted (I have never found a way to reset bad numbers). Anyway, my brother's problem was solved (although his new disk has some high numbers, that aren't at "fail" point, yet), and I have been using the "bad" disk, with no problems, other than I need to set the BIOS to ignore SMART data, and future bad spots may not have anywhere to go.

Bottom line is: Don't believe what SMART monitoring says.

Hi Doug

I can see the smartctl (aka smartahci) version used but which os2ahci.add is in use?

Hi Doug

Thanks. Confirms that the problem I am seeing is with the os2ahci.add v2.03 driver.

And now I am wondering if smartctl v6.6 2017-04-23 r4424 - http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/download/pub/os2/util/disk/smartmontools-6.6-r4424.zip - is less misleading/wrong. Yes, this build works with ahci, uses ahci0 instead of hd0 to specify an ahci controlled disk.

Not necessarily. SMARTAHCI.EXE was tweaked by Arca Noae to work with AHCI, It was sourced from the IDE version.

I don't know where that version actually came from (and I never wasted my time looking at it). I doubt if it was used by Arca Noae for their version (the only reason I tried the AN version, was because I do testing for Arca Noae, and they asked). I expect that v6.6 works, but it has no "official" standing in OS/2. The Arca Noae version does have Arca Noae behind it (and that is about as close to being "official" as you can get with OS/2 now). It should be pretty easy to extract data from a disk. Formatting it would be the hard part, and that hasn't changed. The access to the disk is the only difference from the IDE version, which probably explains the version used (probably just a port address change).

BTW, os2ahci.add v2.07 also works (not, yet released).

Hi Doug

Well, smartahci works with the os2ahci v1.32 driver but locks the system solid when os2ahci v2.03 is installed - it is the same smartahci that you report as working with os2ahci v2.06. the difference between smartahci working and locking up the system seems to be reliant on the os2ahci version in use.

I suggest you try the later smartctl package as it is a much later version than that used by AN for smartahci just to see if the accuracy of data is improved.

It's a know issue that some os2ahci versions crash the system rock solid when trying to read smart information. I think 2.04 was the version which fixed this issue.

For the current Arca Noae AHCI driver, smartctl from Hobbes (listed as smartmontools) works. But how do I get a nice display like smartmon and DaniS506 used to give me?

The data is there if I use smartctl -a ahci1

OK, smartctl -A ahci1 seems to give a black and white version of the smartmon display.

If you mean the coloured (ANSI) output, I'd guess it is a compile time option or needs to be forced on on OS/2. It's a shame that no one seems to follow the license and make the source available.
