Nobody accepted to provide me with a supply of chocolate in exchange for
my stopping the use of the term "8086" to designate the industry
standard architecture (since this is where it has its roots).
I have a new proposal to make:
I would be willing to stop using the 8086 monicker if Kerry Main were
willing to stop using the "many many patches" argument.
Would that be a fair deal that would benefit the c.o.v. community at large ?
Sorry, no.
The 8086 8/16 bit CPU has not been widely used since the dawn of the 80x86
chips, especially the 80386 16/32 bit chips and later. I'm not even sure 8086 is
even made anymore.
Patch-of-the-hour, on the other hand, is a fact of life in the M$, UN*X, Java,
etc. worlds.
