Of course, you know the 80386 has to be fully upward compatible from the 4004.

Of course it does. I just wish they had figured out a good architecture before becoming slaves to compatibility. Orthoganality forever! Down with segments! Uh… how many 4004's are in the 80386 array anyway? <grin> Regards, Larry.

According to my calculations, there are 20-odd 4004's in a 80386. Uh… wonder if they run in parallel, or in series? …

Ray, Considering the bugs in the 80286, and the possible (probable?) bugs with the early '386, one is inclined to believe that those 4004's run in RANDOM. JIM
