The Mac Classic was released in 1990, the Mac Classic II that is the subject of this article was released in 1991. At that time PCs with 286s and 386s were already common, and the 486 was just starting to gain marketshare at the high end. Most of the undocumented 8086 instructions had already been known for almost a decade; and the majority of those who knew were not demosceners. Many developers used Asm exclusively, and the "classic hacker mindset" was very much alive among them.
