    HG>> That is surprising. I don't understand why/how a processor can

   ml> the only solutions i know of are to recompile the boot code (AFAIR

   ml> instructions OR to hack the binary for the new machine instructions   
   ml> OR to fix the virtual machines' CPUs to recognize the old machine   
   ml> instructions...   
      
   Thanks Mark for the advice. I'll take a look at the code because I'm no   
   stranger to programming. Among other programs I did re-program the start   
   floppies for my CP/M computer to automatically start Turbo Pascal and   
   Turbo C from the boot floppy instead of having to first start the   
   Operating system from one floppy and then insert the Turbo "?" to start   
   the program.   
      
   I have however become somewhat older since then .   
      
   Have a nice day,
