How about this: ************************************************************ I am collectting the features of 8086, e.g. 8086 provides 1 Mbyte memory addressibility and the rumor that 8086 is very difficult to write assembly for it. ;-) what are the special functions (good or bad) provided by 8086 comapred with its predecessors: 8085, 8080, Z80, R6502, ......; Is 8086 better than z8000? If so, why? Why not? Is 8086 better than 6800? If so, why? Why not? What's the difference between 8086 and 8088? ************************************************************ I need all the features you can think of. Please e-mail them to me chang@maui.cs.ucla.edu Thanks in advance! Keh-jeng Chang
