In fact, if you've got a PS/2, I'd like to know what all of the patent numbers are. They should be listed on a label somewhere on the outside of the machine, probably in the back. Also, in a recent interview with Jones of Chips and Technologies, he said any potential cloner of the 386 processor would have to deal with a few Intel patents related to protected mode. Can someone tell me what the patent numbers for the patents on the 386 are?
