There is -one- way it *could* happen.
The 486SX isn't -quite- a 486 chip without a math-co -- just one without
an ACTIVE one. The SX chips are DX chips, remember, just with disabled
math-cos.
This would leave lots of stuff unexplained -- but the code -might-
somehow reenable the math-co onboard the 486SX.
I suppose, if I did something like that, I'd double-encrypt it and make
it self-modifying, too. Have you any idea what Intel would -do- to me if
I made something like that work, and they found out?
Although looking at it, I'd say the above ranged from incredibly
unlikely to sheer lunacy.
But it -might- be true.
