Processor Data
This section contains three pieces of data: 
• The S-spec/QDF of the part in ASCII format.
• (1) 2-bit field to declare if the part is a pre-production sample or a production unit.
• The system bus speed in BCD format
7.5.2.1
SQNUM: S-Spec QDF Number
This location provides the S-Spec or QDF number of the processor. The S-spec/QDF 
field is six ASCII characters wide and is programmed with the same S-spec/QDF value 
as marked on the processor. If the value is less than six characters in length, leading 
spaces (20h) are programmed in this field. Writes to this register have no effect.
Example: A processor with a QDF mark of QWFZ contains the following in field 
0E-13h: 20h, 20h, 51h, 57h, 46h, 5Ah. This data consists of two blanks at 0Eh and 0Fh 
followed by the ASCII codes for QEU5 in locations 10 - 13h.
