Test results needed: CPU and instruction set detection

[Gunther]

The program is a pure Real Mode application and should run under many possible configurations. It examines the CPU as well as the FPU and detects the supported instruction sets.
In addition, special instructions are also searched, which are supported by the hardware as well.

DOSBox emulates only an 80486. That's why the output there looks like this:

Processor Vendor String isn't available.
Processor Brand String isn't available.


Instruction Sets supported by CPU
---------------------------------

80486
FPU is an 80387.

Although it wouldn't be a problem, this program doesn't check
for AVX, AVX2 and AVX512. In principle, it is possible to use
AVX, for example. But that works only under plain DOS. However,
special actions are then required for this.

It follows a screen with a selection of further instructions
that this CPU also supports.

Under VirtualBox the output is identical.

I appreciate test results with different configurations.

Hi,

   Four runs of your program on three systems.

2 June 2022, P-III Windows 2000.

This program examines CPU, FPU, and the supported Instruction Sets.
The information collected in the process, will be printed on the
screen. It's a lean and handy real mode application in the small
memory model. From 25 KB of source code, 700 lines of code (LOC)
with a file size of 3 KB are then created for the running EXE.

In order to run the program under as many different configurations
as possible, the hardware is not programmed directly at any point.
All inputs and outputs were realized via DOS or BIOS Services.
