Ahem...ever hear of the Z280? of course not, you seem to be too preoccupied with the intel garbage to notice. (Think: Can you trust a company who's logo is falling apart? i think not.) the Z280 was developed as a contender for the 286 processor. except that it handles memory THE RIGHT WAY. With linear addressing. none of this segmented memory wank-splut. it does top out at a clock speed of 12MHz, but that is comparable to a 286 at about 40 MHz!! The 286's internal arcitechture is the lousyist design for anything *BUT* msdos (the toaster operating system. makes great bread, but nothing else...) Techs @ the aNk1e ByT0rz k1Ub (Don't ask where the name came from, it won't enhance your life that much) Intel processors arn't worth the plastic they're packaged in...
