BAW,

Just a question here! You said that that the operating system is not a function of the chip! I can't help but see a bit of a 'flaw' in that statement! Let's say that one chip supported a 'divide' command and another chip did not. The chip that did would be able to perform that operation with one command, while the chip without would have to use a 'micro-code' instruction set to perform that function. At least that has been my experience spanning some 35 years in computers.

JMHO,

Ken
