ASTRA - Advanced Sysinfo Tool and Reporting Assistant. This program performs computer configuration analysis and diagnostics. It gives detailed information about your computer hardware and devices operational modes, including undocumented information. A unique quick HDD Health Status checker is included. It provides information on CPU, motherboard, hard disks, S.M.A.R.T., CD/DVD devices, SCSI devices, memory modules, chipset, BIOS, PCI/AGP, ISA/PnP and PnP devices, monitor, video card, sound card, network card, printer, etc. This program also creates a report file in plain text, INI, HTML, XML and CSV format, and is able to run in batch mode. Bootable ISO and floppy images are also
available. The DOS version is especially designed for system restore purposes and may be used by repair professionals.

This program FREE for non-commercial purposes.

Platform: DOS.

Windows version also available. Click here to learn more about ASTRA32 for Windows.
