[net.micro.att] CPUID.COM from PC TECH JOURNAL & the 6300+

vch@rruxd.UUCP (Kerro Panille) (03/22/86)

I actually went to all the trouble to type in the CPUID.ASM file listed
in this month's PC TECH JOURNAL, and guess what - it locks up my AT&T 6300 Plus!
I had typed it in at home on my very hybrid PC/XT(Orchid PC-TURBO186 & NEC V20),
assembeled it, and it worked just fine there, both on the V20 and the 80186.
But when I put it on my 6300 Plus, it died! Since then I've tried it on several
machines, such as the AT, AT&T 6300, and the Lee Data PC (a hybrid XT clone).
I've tried it on models that have/don't have 8087/80287's. They all work just
fine (although the 6300 complains that the dip switch isn't set for the 8087 - 
as far as I know, the machine doesn't have one...) 

Anyway, has anyone else tried this? Any clues as to why?
