Or you can just join the conversation in the middle instead of seeing all of that addressed in the replies: > even with LDTs, segments will not function with the legacy 16-bit wraparound; nor can you run 16-bit code segments. [...] <and no far pointers> And, most importantly: > That being said, this isn't worth arguing over. If you can provably run late 1980s-early 1990s 16-bit code in AMD64 compatibility mode, with full execution protections and support of even most, not all, commercial software; that goes against the general understanding of those architectures. Document it and add it to the academic sphere to expand the knowledge. Despite that entire conversation happening almost a week ago.
