If you have an ancient dual-processor 80486 system, please email me
off-list. Yes, a few of these did indeed exist.

The 82489DX discrete APIC was originally designed for 80486 SMP systems
and Intel's Multiprocessor Specification explicitly provided for such
configurations. Unfortunately I was never able to track down such a
system to experiment with it and possibly make it work with Linux. Good
luck with finding one these days!
