: I think the confusion is over the term "x86". The poster who wrote "it's
: not pre-x86" considers "x86" to include the 8086. Apparently you, David,
: consider "x86" to only include those processors 186 and higher.
: Since "x86"
: is usually intended to indicate the family of processors which can all run
: at least the 8086 instructions, I would think that "x86" should
: include the
: 8086 (x=0 in this case) and therefore, the 8088 would not be pre-x86.
