Interestingly, I've never owned a 386. I was not much of a DOS/Win PC person until 1994, when I got a 486 to run NEXTSTEP. I've had an i8088, NEC V20, i80286, i80486, AMD 5x86, P4, and then on with the Mac starting in 2006 with (well, just before) Intel Core microarch. In those early days I was more Amiga, ST, etc. ( https://bytecellar.com/the-list/ https://bytecellar.com/the-list/ )
I felt more spiritually connected to the MC68K line back when, for lack of a better term.
Amusingly the i386 system I spent the most time with was in college in 1993/4 on a Sun 386 tower running SunOS or Solaris in the APCS lab.
- TristanBall 3y agoWhile I got the 80386 programmers manual as one of my teen birthday presents.. I only ever actually did a little ASM programming but I loved that book anyway and read it a lot. Really annoyed at myself that I got rid of in some fit of "well, I'll never use that again" cleaning some time.. especially given somehow still have "Sendmail, edition 2". I might read the 386 book for nostalgia.. the Sendmail one..well, PTSD isn't something you get nostalgic about!
