; Determine the CPU type by testing for differences in the CPU in the system.
;-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
; To test for the 8086/8088, test the value of SP after it is placed on the
; stack. The 8086/8088 increments this value before pushing it on the stack,
; all other CPU's increment SP after pushing it on the stack.
;-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
xor ax,ax ; clear CPU type return register
push sp ; save SP on stack to look at
pop bx ; get SP saved on stack
cmp bx,sp ; if 8086/8088, these values will differ
jnz CPU_8086_exit ; yep
;-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
; When we get here, we know that we aren't a 8086/8088. And since all
; subsequent processors will trap invalid opcodes via INT6, we will determine
; which CPU we are by trapping an invalid opcode.
; We are an 80486 if: XADD DX,DX executes correctly
; 80386 if: MOV EDX,CR0 executes correctly
; 80286 if: SMSW DX executes correctly
; 80186 if: SHL DX,5 executes correctly
;-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
; Setup INT6 handler
;-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
enter 4,0 ; create stack frame
mov word ptr INT6,offset INT6_handler
mov INT6+2,cs
call set_INT6_vector ; set pointer to our INT6 handler
mov ax,4 ; initialize CPU flag=4 (80486)
xor cx,cx ; initialize semaphore
;-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
; Now, try and determine which CPU we are by executing invalid opcodes.
; The instructions I chose to invoke invalid opcodes, are themselves rather
; benign. In each case, the chosen instruction modifies the DX register,
; and nothing else. No system parameters are changed, e.g. protected mode,
; or other CPU dependant features.
;-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
; The 80486 instruction 'XADD' xchanges the registers, then adds them.
; The exact syntax for a '486 compiler would be: XADD DX,DX.
