I've just released a little DOS program for checking if a machine's CPU is cycle-exact with an Intel 8088 or not. You can get it at https://www.reenigne.org/software/acid88.zip . It will likely crash on CPUs that don't implement undocumented instructions in a way that is functionally identical to Intel 8088 ones (in particular the JMP, CALL, JMP FAR and CALL FAR instructions with byte sized operands). This will probably mostly be of interest to the authors of emulators but if you have a physical machine that is almost-but-not-quite a 4.77MHz PC/XT then you might be interested to know its score!
