Get Coprocessor Status

Note that all known DPMI 0.9 hosts support this function.

Call With

AX = 0E00H

Returns

if function successful
Carry flag = clear (this function always succeeds in DPMI 1.0)
AX = coprocessor status

Bit	Significance
0	MPv (MP bit in the virtual MSW/CR0)
	0 = numeric coprocessor is disabled for this client
	1 = numeric coprocessor is enabled for this client
1	EMv (EM bit in the virtual MSW/CR0)
	0 = client is not emulating coprocessor instructions
	1 = client is emulating coprocessor instructions
2	MPr (MP bit from the actual MSW/CR0)
	0 = numeric coprocessor is not present
	1 = numeric coprocessor is present
3	EMr (EM bit from the actual MSW/CR0)
	0 = host is not emulating coprocessorinstructions
	1 = host is emulating coprocessor instructions
4-7	coprocessor type
	00H = no coprocessor
	02H = 80287
	03H = 80387
	04H = 80486 with numeric coprocessor
	05H-0FH reserved for future numeric processors
8-15	not applicable

Notes

• If the real EM (EMr) bit is set, the host is supplying or is capable of supplying floating point emulation.

• If the MPv bit is not set, the host may not need to save the coprocessor state for this virtual machine to improve system performance.

• MPr bit setting should be consistent with the setting of coprocessor type information. Ignore MPr bit information if it is in conflict with the coprocessor type information.

• If the virtual EM (EMv) bit is set, the host delivers all coprocessor exceptions to the client, and the client is performing its own floating point emulation (whether or not a coprocessor is present or the host also has a floating point emulator). In other words, if the EMv bit is set, the host sets the EM bit in the real CR0 while the virtual machine is active, and reflects coprocessor not present faults (Int 7) to the virtual machine.

• A client can determine the CPU type with Int 31H Function 0400H, but a client should not draw any conclusions about the presence or absence of a coprocessor based on the CPU type alone.
