Now, beeing a 6502 Geek from the beginning and a long
time 8086 assembly programmer, I can't realy follow
that. The 8086 is in my eyes one of the finest designs
around. What I realy dislike is the Z80 ... if there
was ever a CPU with an instruction set designed using
a random number generator, it's the Z80!
I dislike them both, but both CPU's have the 8080 as the
founding father. As a 16 bit CPU the 8086 is great,it
is/was the stupid memory management that they used was
the killer for me.
