You'll forgive me if this was already discussed I don't getto read news
that often and may have missed it. In the past code has been posted
here to identify what 80*86 processor a program is running on.
I want to update that for the 486 but am not sure how to do it.
I spent a good chunk of time looking at the "i486 Microprocessor" book
and came up empty. It's easy to tell right after reset but that
doesn't help in the general case. Is there some difference (subtle or
otherwise) that can be exploited for the purpose of monetary gain
or at least telling the two apart? You can post the answer here
and I may see it but mail would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
