All this talk about Double-Sigma series of 386 chips has made me wonder about
the same thing for the iPx486 chip. I thought I remember reading somewhere
that the first batch of 486 chips had some flaws in them. I was wondering
what markings on the 486 chip would signify a hopefully bug free version.

Thanks
