Without an 8080 manual handy, I can't really easily check to see if the
386 is binary-compatible with the 8080. But it certainly is
assembly-compatible, and I can't help noting that there are so-called
"short forms" of instructions that look suspiciously like the opcodes
of the 8080 set. By contrast, try writing "LDX" on a 68000. Doesn't work.
Why is it that Intel employees are so confused about their own products?
