Hi Hans
Then you'll love the Z8000. Its segments are non-overlapping
( unless a mmu makes them so ).
I like the 186 myself but have to admit that the time for
segmented memory has passed, in general purpose computing.

I have one word to say about segmented
architecture... "Ewwwww"
:) I like segmented systems. It's one of the best concepts for
address space extension. Ok, I also think that the 8086 is one
of the best 16 Bit CPUs (*1) ever, and as the 186 core at the
top of their evolution.

(*1) There are other great ones, like the 9900.
