Hi all, I am messing around with Amstrad Diagnostics and included some new functionality such as motor tape/disk, z80 cmos/nmos/flavor and rpm (not still working the shamelessly robbed code from Brice Rive's RPM)

I have read that 8255 manufacturer can be guessed but I do not know how and I would like to include it in the diagnostics.
 According to cpcwiki "It is possible to detect each version by writing and then reading from the ppi control i/o port. Each can give a different pattern of values that are read back. " <- https://www.cpcwiki.eu/index.php/8255


Any hint?
