Hi, noting your remark on this diff - you can really say that about anything, although I'm pretty sure it can run 16 bit stuff fine - EXCEPT FOR the maximum instruction length, one really old chip used a state machine and could alternate indefinitely between some of those, allowing practically infinite instruction lengths to be parsed. The limit is now 15 IIRC and it's been committed to allowing OSes to provide them by trapping on the fault. It may be 16? Something like that. Saying it's not x86 is a bit of a stretch, it's a lot easier than IA64 (Itainium) Intel64 (AMD-64-x86-thing) and IA32 - which I think implies the 15 byte limit. So don't get too worried about that, it is x86 "in spirit" and really in what it'll run too 209.93.238.126 18:40, 21 June 2020 (EDT)
