I have System Sleuth.  I wish I understood more of the things it tells me
about a system.  It paid for itself in one exercise.  A system with a VGA
card and a 1280x1024 TIGA video card would not run any software using a TIGA
driver.  The diagnostic program for the TIGA card thought everything was
correct.  System Sleuth showed that the base address chosen for the TIGA
card conflicted with the VGA card.
