I want to be able to tell what kind of MSDOS computer i am running on via Turbo Pascal. I need to distinguish between generic dos, IMB pc, or AT, etc. I've looked at dos services and interrrupts. I would guess the info is "somewhere" in memory and tracable with the MEM function. Can anyone tell me where to get the data I need and how to decode it?

See eg Norton & Wilton, The New Peter Norton Programmer's Guide to the IBM PC and PS/2, page 64 describing memory location $F000:$FFFE Hex. Jamsa & Nameroff, Turbo Pascal Programmer's Library also has information on the matter. ...................................................................
