Browsing through Ralf's interrupt list I noticed that some new
BIOS chips return the CPU type and revision numbers via
INT 15H AX=C910H.
 
I would like to see how many have this function available and
what type of data the call returns. If you have a 386SX+ system,
please uudecode the program below and run it.
 
The program (INT15C9.COM) returns three lines of data with the
contents of the AH, CH and CL registers. AH is 00 if the call
was successful (otherwise it's usually 86 for invalid command).
CH indicates the CPU type, which is 3 for 386 and 4 for 486
(I imagine 5 would be 586). CL contains the revision number for
the design. Typical values are 30-3F = 486 Overdrive and 23=386SX.
 
If you run the program and AH is 00, i.e. your BIOS did support
the call, PLEASE e-mail, mail, fax or phone in your results.
I would like to know:
 
  a) CH and CL register contents as you can see them on screen
                                            (for example: 04 03)
  b) Your BIOS make and if you know it, the date
                                     (for example: AMI 09/12/92)
  c) Your computer make and model (if not "Noname")
                                     (for example: IBM PS/2 M56)
  d) What CPU you actually have _and_ the clock frequency
                                    (for example:  50MHz 486DX2)
 
I will post a summary of responses (nicely tabulated, etc.)
for everyone to enjoy if I get lots of replies. Otherwise
expect a summary by e-mail.
 
*THANK YOU* for your help.
 
Aki.
