On this page, INFOPLUS attemts to determine the CPU and math coprocessor
that you have.
The CPU is determined by exploiting minor differences between the CPU's.
INFOPLUS can detect the 8088, 8086, V20, V30, 80188, 80186, 80286, i386,
i486, and i486SX. Currently, INFOPLUS cannot distinguish between the i386SX
and the i386DX.
For a 286/386/486, INFOPLUS will information you of some of the special
registers and status bits of these CPUs.
In Coprocessors, INFOPLUS can detect the 8087, 80287, and 80387. It also
informs on whether the BIOS has set it's flag. On PC/XT computers, this bit
is determined by a DIP switch setting. On AT's and better, by a CMOS
setting.
For a 386/486, INFOPLUS checks to see if the BIOS has set a flag for the
Weitek coprocessor. Not all BIOSs support this flag.
