 SM> It's 100% compatible
Way... I didn't know they EVER made a processor
100% compatible with another. There's often
some small diffrences in undocummented or
even docummented instructions & features, right?
I mean, don't most cpu-detections that don't use
CPUID use that?
No expert on the subject, just seen a few code
samples and glimbsed (wrong spelling?) at www.x86.org
(not that I claim to have quoted them in any sense)
 SM> I don't recall which.  Anyway, the part that surprised me
 SM> what that IBM made PS/2's that used an 808x CPU.
Oh, that must have been a long time ago ... ?
