Testsoftware for Hardware? was created by Holzwurm56
Hello,
for space reasons, I would like to control my machine using a laptop and a Mesa 7I96 card. Is there perhaps a test program that can identify the laptop/PC's system components? Something like the Windows Device Manager, where you could disable unnecessary devices. You don't need a sound card, battery management, Bluetooth, etc., to control the machine.
Thanks
Hans

Hello,
I’d like to try LCNC again on a different PC. Is there perhaps a mini live ISO with a real-time kernel—available on a USB stick or DVD—that contains only the latency test? That way, I could test the PCs beforehand rather than wiping everything, installing LCNC, and then finding out it doesn't work. Thanks,
Hans

Yes, the installer is also a live system so run it up, select live and run your tests It won't save any settings between sessions so I just usually install Linux and test on the PC itself.

You can do all that with the official ISO.I’d like to try LCNC again on a different PC.
