I love this blog series that just goes on and on. Keep up the good work! One thing I'm thinking about: I grew up writing 6502 assembly on the VIC20 and C64. We hated the 8086 back then, as kids do with hardware. When growing up I saw that we were partly right. The 6502 performed very well compared to the IBM PC on practical tasks. But the 6502 is a dirt simple, while the 8086 is surprisingly complex. Was the PC slow due to 8088 and not 8086? I can of course just Google it or check the op code table. But always fun to talk about old technology :)
