Scumbria,

No doubt. I'm designing an x86 decoder this morning, and I had forgotten what a POS this ISA is.

Then why design for it? When ISA first came out over ten years ago, that was it. Of course, older technologies are going to appear to be a "POS" when compared to newer technologies. Isn't backwards compatiblity the key?
