Other than the goofy segment layout, what did you find
"annoying" about
the 8086 instruction set? I'm curious, because I'm only familiar with
6809, 8080, 8086, and 68000 and I wouldn't describe any of them as
"annoying" (limited in some areas, yes, but I equate "annoying" with
"making me want to physically injure the chip designers").
Can we just shoot the designers of the 8086 and just leave it that. !?
