I don't know how symbios does it but I don't think it's that hard to create something pretty close to preemptive multitasking on a z80. You have the vsync interrupt (50 times per second). Add to that some stack manipulation,

I don't get it. What caused the problems? The bad ram or the 32 bit windows? It makes no sense that a 32 bit windows only acts up after trying bad RAM.

On a slightly unrelated note, "Kiiking", a sport that was invented in Estonia and that hasn't reached much popularity elsewhere, looks like a lot of fun. It's definitely something I want to try one day. https:/&#x2

That, and the temperature of the egg itself. Did it come from the refrigerator or is it at room temperature? Furthermore, not every egg has the same size or weight.

You can mathematically prove whether a piece of code is 100% bug-free using formal verification techniques ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formal_verification ). However, these techniques are often too computationally ex

> The Pentium has a 64-bit databus Didn't realize that, and you're right. Other examples of CPU's that I'm aware of with a different "bitness"/databus width are the 68008 and 8808, but in both cases the

It seems like it can also easily be extended to an architecture with 12 bit address bus. Simply extend the size of every instruction to two bytes, and use the extra byte to refer to a 12 bit instead of 4 bit address.

I'd say, more importantly, it has an 8-bit data bus. It is the 4 bit address bus which cripples it. By comparison, the 4004 has a 4 bit data bus and 4 bit registers, but a 12 bit (4KByte) address bus.

Also, wouldn't little-endianness generally benefit 16 bit arithmetic operations performed on 8 bit ALUs? Because (correct me if I'm wrong) a carry flag always carries over from LSB to MSB, processing the LSB before the MSB allows

This is a common technique in conceptual analysis. It reminds me of Castelfranchi's theory of trust. While trust was often modeled as a two place relation (X trusts Y) he turned it into a five place relation (X trusts Y for task T usef
