KZNerd,

I think you are correct about the 80286 and 432 in that he obviously meant to say the 432 was the dead-end chip.. however, I *really* wish the 286 had been the dead end and that the 432 had lived ;)

But let's be honest, almost every CPU in history was easier to work with than the 80286... sure it was successful, but I dare you to find one programmer that actually like it ;)

Steve
