 CPU/FPU Detection Library v.1.16b  Владимир Захарычев 10.01.1995

-+ TMi0SDGL(tm) V1.16BETA +-
CPU/FPU Feature Detection Library by B-coolWare.
 Recognizes 25+ CPUs and about 15 FPUs, checks for V86, determines CPU clock speed and determines 386dx chip stepping.
 ASM/PAS/C[++] sources included!
 Windows, OS/2 & DESQview-aware: works fine in DOS box, even returning correct MHz under Windows and DESQview!
 Differs i486 and Cx486 models.
 DPMI-compatible.
 Make batches and file provided.
 Absolutely free of charge!!!

... README.1ST ........................... TMi0SDGL(tm) Companion Document ... Document no.: T-0018.94.95M01.06 *** A T T E N T I O N *** Please read this document before you proceed with the rest of the library. Throughout this document "this code" and "the code" Ё "TMi0SDGL(tm) Version 1.16BETA dated 24/04/95". The time stamp on all files in this archive should be 01:16:62. If it differs on any of the files then you have modified version of this file. WARNING!!! Due to many enhancements made to the code since last release, most of which were not thoroughly tested, you should consider this release as BETA test release. Avoid using this code in your commercial or shareware applications until all possible incompatibilities and bugs will be located and eliminated. If you make use of this code - you do it on your own risk. Please test this code as thorough as you can and report any incompatibilities or bugs you spot. Contents ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  New features that haven't been tested yet  DPMI compatibility issues  For those having problems with the code in certain environments  How to contact author  New features that haven't been tested yet. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ TMi0SDGL 1.16B has following new features that haven't been tested on all systems yet:  AMD Am386 detection. It uses the fact that on Intel's 386s LOCK prefix doesn't function as documented with some instructions (partially, NOP). As the documentation says, LOCK NOP sequence should generate an "invalid opcode" exception while it actually doesn't. AMD's CPUs function properly in this case. This "bug" was reported by several people found it on several Intel's 386s. BUT I cannot guarantee that ALL Intel's 386s function this way. This must be proved by more extensive testing. Because I can't perform it by myself, I leave it up to you.  Cyrix 486 CPU model detection. This one directly reads and writes to/from chipset registers and thus may not work on certain motherboards. It was initially written for NEAT chipsets and tested on BIOTEQ and HiNT chipsets. Worked fine so far, but it may not on YOUR system. This method possibly can also be used to detect other chips, like Am486?? and likes, but currently I have no information on them.  IBM ?86SLC? CPU detection. This method uses RDMSR and WRMSR instructions to obtain necessary information and thus it can work only in real mode or with CPL=0. Only QEMM-386 version 7.04 and newer is known to allow these instructions to work from V86 executing them on ring 0 and returning result to caller. Due to mentioned limitations this method will only work in real mode or under QEMM-386. If you know other memory managers that allow these instructions to work in V86 applications, please let me know (and include a method of detecting them if possible). This method possibly can also be used to detect other chips, like Am486?? and likes, but currently I have no information on them.  DPMI compatibility issues. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This code is fully DPMI compatible. Although only Borland Pascal 7 users can use this code in protected mode programs without any handwork. Because of many differences in different C/C++ compilers' protected mode memory model definitions I do not provide MAKE script for making protected mode applications using TMi0SDGL with C/C++. You should build protected mode library manually: 1. compile CPU_HL.ASM and CPUSPEED.ASM with __DPMI__ define and add .OBJes to library you will use with protected mode application (CPUTYPEX.LIB, for example); 2. compile SMM.ASM, CXMODEL.ASM and P5INFO.ASM and add them to the same library; 3. compile CPUTYPE.C with corresponding memory model (DOSX, etc.) and add .OBJ to the library. Now (I hope) you should be able to build protected mode applications using TMi0SDGL with your C/C++ compiler.  For those having problems with the code in certain environments. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This code haven't been extensively tested on all CPUs it theoretically should recognize. I performed extensive tests only on systems available to me which include: 1. AMD Am386DX-40/Intel 80387DX running MS-DOS 5.0, QEMM 7.04 + DESQview 2.63, Windows 3.11 2. Intel i486DX2-66 running MS-DOS 6.2, QEMM 7.04, Personal NW, Stacker 4.0, Windows 3.10 Russian 3. GenuineIntel i486SX-40/None - new generation (supporting CPUID) running MS-DOS 6.2, QEMM 7.01, Windows 3.10 4. Intel 80286-10/Sun SPARCStation 1+ emulating 80286 5. Intel 80386SX-25/Intel 80387SX running MS-DOS 6.2/MemMaker, Windows 3.10 Russian 6. AMD Am386DX-40/Cyrix Cx87SLC running Novell DOS 7, Personal NW, Windows 3.10 7. Intel i486DX-50 running MS-DOS 6.2, Windows for Workgroups 3.11 8. Intel Pentium-S/60 running MS-DOS 6.2, Windows for Workgroups 3.11 9. Cyrix Cx486DX-40 running MS-DOS 5.0, QEMM 7.52, Windows 3.11 or OS/2 Warp Version 3 (European Release) 10. GenuineIntel i486DX-33 - new generation (supporting CPUID) running MS-DOS 6.0/MemMaker, Windows 3.10 11. AMD Am386DX-40/IIT 3C87 running MS-DOS 5.0, QEMM 7.52, Windows 3.10 12. Cyrix Cx486DX2-50 running Windows 95 Final Beta Release (build 337) 13. P5-66 (step 7, no FPU bug) running MS-DOS 6.22, QEMM 7.52, Windows for Workgroups 3.11 On all listed systems the code appeared to work fine giving correct results under all listed environments except [1,6] when running Soft-ICE 2.62 - incorrectly stated that CPU is 386SX. I cannot guarantee that the code will run o.k. on systems with other configurations/operating environments, though I hope it will. Please don't bomb me with letters like "wow! this thingie crashes my PC with such and such CPU/FPU under such and such env." - you got full sources, and you should know how to use a debugger if you know how to program, so try to find out the origin of your problem on YOUR system (and maybe a workaround) before reporting it.  How to contact author. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If you found a bug or have any questions/suggestions about TMi0SDGL or have some code/information to donate, you can reach me at 2:5028/52.6@fidonet aka 2:5028/51.10@fidonet (Vladimir Zakharychev) or xor@cnit.uniyar.ac.ru (internet, ask to forward message to Bobby Z.). For phone and paper mail address see the CPUTYPE.DOC file. Thanx for yer attention. Now you can proceed with the rest of the library. See HISTORY.DOC for modification history and CPUTYPE.DOC for license agreement, copyrights and contact info. << end of README.1ST >>
