Hi daniel,
I may be wrong but I think that the DX2/66 chip which you have got 
is maybe one of the old ones wich INTEL shipped which does not 
support CPUID info.

Actually as far as I am aware INTEL added CPUID for Pentiums 
and also added it for later releases of its 486's. Which is why my 
DX2/66 supports it (i posted details earlier). Some software 
(notably BORLAND Turbo debugger  4.5) incorrectly assumes that 
my CPU is a pentium just because it supports CPUID info.
