Well, if you had a decent programmer writing the code, s/he would use
a fairly standard routine to differentiate between an 808x and a V-
series chip as well as an 80286 and 80386. The code was widely
published.
You mostly saw V40/V50 for embedded use, although there were one or
two portables that used them.
Indecent programmers can go debug themselves. :)
