Thanks for work on the listserv. It is so far a lot of fun :)

I know of many shareware programs that will dump the settings of your system
into a text file (or can be tricked into doing so by using DOS piping commands
to reroute text screen display to file). The problem with these programs is
that they do not tend to be right most of the time. One computer program thought
my P-90 was a 486SX.

I know some Assembler programmers can get the information by reading the
BIOS data somewhere, but being Assembler-illiterate, I do not know how to do
that.

Hope this helps
