Message-ID: <STEVE.94Mar3150456@ray.MorningStar.Com> Sender: news@MorningStar.Com Nntp-Posting-Host: ray.morningstar.com Reply-To: Steve Wilson <steve@MorningStar.Com> Organization: Morning Star Technologies Date: Thu, 3 Mar 1994 20:04:56 GMT Lines: 8 I have a routine which can distinguish a 386 from a 486, and if it is a 486 it checks for the presence of a math coprocessor to guess at whether it is a 486SX or 486DX. Now for the tough part... Is there any way to distinguish a 386SX from a 386DX in software? - Steve Wilson steve@MorningStar.Com
