The old RCA CDP1802 keeps dragging me back.
I seriously stopped messing with intel with 8080/8085 jumping to Z80
?and 8048/8051 for the single chips and then going off to PIC and Atmega.
Looked at 8086 and decided it was a 8080 with a bag on the side.
It was and still is irrational.
Disassembly for 8085 is dirt simple as the opcodes are easily classified
and decoded.??? Its easy enough to do in a word processor, find and replace.

Not sure where that leaves the rest of us. Bill Gunshannon wrote:
I think you are confused maybe. Wasn't it sadism?
Many of us think that the advent of the x86
architecture is what led to
masochism.
... or masochism led to the x86 architecture.
