Since there are a lot of questions about the differences between the various chips used in the IBM PC, IBM PC/XT, IBM PC/AT, IBM PS/2 and compatibles, this list, containing their CPU's and NPX's, has been compiled for the benefit of the net community. I hope it can answer some questions.
This list is the result of collecting many snippets of information from Usenet and data books, and from information of various contributors of course. Any corrections, additions, or comments are welcome. Please reply by E-mail to: offerman@einstein.et.tudelft.nl.
