The 8086 patent also only included a few examples, and the naming conventions for microcode registers and instructions. The full microcode for that one was disassembled by Andrew Jenner.
- bonzini 4y agoYeah, I meant this specific example; I didn't know that the 80186 microcode was also disassembled, at least in part. It would be interesting to know how they sped up multiplication and division between the 8086 and 80186!
