MCPUINFO, Olde Processor Identification Tool

MCPUINFO is a MS-DOS application used to identify pre-Pentium processors and co-processors currently in use.

The list of detected processors and co-processors:

• 8086
• 80286
• 80386
• 80486
• 8087
• 80287
• 80387

Command-line switches:

• --help, /?: Show help page and quit
• --version: Show version page and quit
• --ver: Print version only and quit

For a more sofisticated tool that supports the CPUID instruction, see my ddcpuid utility.

It's as simple as:

nasm mcpuinfo.asm -fbin -omcpuinfo.com
