I have a 386/25 that is about a year  old, it has the Sigma-Sigma sign on it.
I have also looked at several brand-new 386/25's that does not have this sign.
I have not looked closely at our 386/33.

There is a program called Check-It (offhand, I forgot who makes it.  It is not
PD or shareware).  This diag program will check a 386 CPU for the 'pre-sigma-
sigma' bug.

I was under the impression that the 'pre-sigma-sigma' bug was fixed before the
33mhz part was out.  Or even before the 25mhz.  But I have no REAL information
to back this up.
