- 1. What CPUCHECK does
-
- CPUCHECK tells you what kind of processor and math coprocessor is in your
- PC. Possible types are 808x/8018x, 80286, 80386, and 80486. When run, it
- displays a message similar to the one below.
-
- Processor is 80386 with math coprocessor
-
- If your PC has no math coprocessor, or if the PC is an 80486, the phrase
- "with math coprocessor" is omitted. The Intel 80486 chip has its own built-in
- equivalent of the 80387 math coprocessor.
-
- 2. Software included
-
- The following files are included here, and may be redistributed only in their
- entirety. If you write programs that require a minimum Intel processor to
- run, then you can use this software to check which processor is present.
-
- READ.ME This file.
- CPUCHECK.EXE Executable version of CPUCHECK, compiled with Turbo Pascal 5.5.
- CPUCHECK.PAS Pascal source program for CPUCHECK. Compatible with Borland
- Turbo Pascal 4.0 or later and Microsoft Quick Pascal 1.0.
- Uses CHIPS unit.
- CHIPS.PAS Pascal source program for CHIPS units. Uses CHIPTYPE.OBJ.
- CHIPS.QPU Quick Pascal 1.0 CHIPS unit.
- CHIPS.TPU Turbo Pascal 5.5 CHIPS unit.
- CHIPTYPE.ASM Microsoft MASM 5.1 source for code that does the real work.
- CHIPTYPE.OBJ Microsoft MASM 5.1 object for CHIPTYPE.ASM.
-
- 3. Acknowledgements
-
- Pat O'Shea wrote the original CHIPTYPE.ASM for C programmers. His original
- checks for all processor types up through an 80386/80387, including the
- NEC V20.
-
- Ben Myers added logic to check for presence of an 80486, and verified that it
- worked correctly.
-
- Page 3-42 of the Intel i486 Microprocessor Programmer's Reference Manual
- contains a function that tells an 80486 from an 80386. Like other Intel
- references, this is a really good book, indispensible if you are writing
- for the 80486. The Intel order number is 240486-001, dated January 1990.
