- For what reason?
- I thought REV C of the OS has been exclusively installed on the XL/XE
- machines. So why determine the type of the computer?
- It wastes valuable processing time.
-
- BTW: What does the subroutine do that is being accessed after
- it comes out that the OS is actually running on a XL/XE machine?
-
- Another question: Where is the hardware register STRIG2 (if it's the
- correct name) wired to on the hardware level?
