Well,
   As far as I can tell, the only way to detect the presence/absence of
the coprocessor is to read the system board switch(es) and determine if
a coprocessor is configured or not.

   So as a guess, I would say that the AT switches read differently.  I
know that the XT reads in an entirely different fashion than the PC, so
there seems to be a precident....
