I like the
186 myself but have to admit that the time for segmented
memory has passed, in general purpose computing.
Well, define general purpose computing. In my eyes this describes real
computers ... ala IBMish Mainframes, and Segmented memory never had a
place there. When going for small systems, the 186 is still one of the
best CPUs to use. Powerfull, fast, simple and high integrated. I don't
know anything which can't be done in a megabyte of mem.
