Somting like the 386INTEL.TXT from Check intels www site.. The are docs about pentium and pentium pro. they are in .pdf format (can be read with free adobe acrobat reader). In the document is noted wat is added/removed in the processors.. Grtx Pieter ps. you could make a page or segment readonly. It works on a 386 too:-))
