For your entertainment;

The 80386 can run in the virtual 8086 mode.

Is it outrageous to assume that Intel may build the 80586
to run in the virtual 80386 mode?

If so, each session could address 16 Meg of RAM and with
a fast enough cpu clock, one computer  could be a workstation
and a file server, IE. Novell, all at the same time.

Any comments?
