Rod so if I understand you correctly this is because "it lacks this built-in interrupt controller". If I remember it correctly just around the time when 486 anounced russian multiprocessor computer made all the news here. The story went that one of the universities or research facilities in Russia where not satisfied with Russian main frames so they put together a system that was running a number of old 8086 processors (all they could afford) in parallel mode and achieved the spead that was comparable to super-expensive supercomputers. questions: does this mean that 8086s were build with this "advanced controller" years back and we just did not pay enough attention to that intel innovation? Why was this particular controler replaced with inferior controllers in 286 and 386 and 486 and 586 chips? is ppro controler just as good now as it was in 8086?
