I'm excited for someone to actually reverse engineer that 8086 microcode. Curious what might come out of that.

  Yes, it will be interesting to look at the microcode. Intel's 8086 patent discusses the microcode in some detail and gives examples of the microcode for a few instructions. So I'm not expecting any huge surprises. https://patents.google.com/patent/US4449184 https://patents.google.com/patent/US4449184

    Do you have any sort of automated technique to extract microcode from a picture, or do you do it all by hand?
