Jeeesh...I should stop posting at strange hours of the morning. In article <1755@chinacat.Unicom.COM> I garbled: >At the time of its introduction, the 80186 was under HIMO (high integration >microprocessors operation) and the 80286 was under HIPO (h. i. performance o.) I know, it's meaningless trivia, but I should probably get it right. Make that HPMO, not HIPO for the '286. Also, technically speaking, the CPU's preceded the formation of these operations; they were created briefly after product introduction with the 186/286 as the flagship products. Again, the whole point of these inane details is to explain the 186 was indeed intended as a general purpose CPU. -- Chip Rosenthal 512-482-8260 | We was raising insurance premiums, ma.
