[comp.sys.ibm.pc.misc] How to tell an 80286 from an 80386

clyde@hitech.ht.oz.au (Clyde Smith-Stubbs) (09/11/90)

Can anybody offer suggestions on how a program can tell if it is running
on an 80286 or an 80386 WITHOUT setting up an illegal instruction trap?

Please e-mail responses (no incomings news at present).

Thanks.
