I think cubix was a good idea, but this 15 years too
late for me as I
What a co-incidence ... CUBIX is 20+ years old, so it should have been
perfect :-)
realize in hindsight that 128k of
memory - split code and data is needed for any real work. This the
crummy 8088 has but not the 6809.
Funny, I've done LOTS of "real work" in <64k 8-bit CPUs. Even now
a lot of my command line utilities are compiled in 64k "tiny" model
(Referencing stuff known here, Anyone notice that ImageDisk, my
Simulators and the various other transfer utilities that I've done are
all .COM files) - I used to think 64k was lots of memory... and I still
do!

Dave
