I spent may day getting 1.09, compiling test.c and testing it on 7 nonames
(all different motherboards) and on a Peacock 386/33, a Compaq 386/33,
an Unisys 386/33, a MTS 386/33, a MTS 486/33, a IBM PS/2 386 and a
HP QS/20 386.
Result: There was not a single computer, executing this program correctly.
Csaba, can you sell me your motherboard? :-)
