Folks,
I just say a message about a shortcomming of the Cyrix processor. That
made me think about an oddity when I boot. The boot messages start out:
FreeBSD 2.0.5-RELEASE #0: Mon Sep 4 13:27:24 EDT 1995
rpt@dragon:/usr/src/sys/compile/DRAGON2
CPU: Cy486DLC (486-class CPU)
Origin = "Cyrix"
But the chip is not a Cyrix, and does have an fpu! Are there any special
actions taken because of the DLC designation?
I can't find a manufacturers name on the chip, but it does have the phrase
"it's 486" in an italic script that looks alot like that used in the
Inovative Technology ads.
