Did anything ever use *ADVANCED ACHITECTURE(?.
Games don't count here.
Not much. Only Xenix, BSD, and other Unixes, Netware, Windows 3.x with
Win32S, Windows 95/98/ME, Windows NT/2000/XP/Vista/7/8/10, Linux, and
maybe a few other obscure things.
I think we better agree in what advanced architecture really is. Being
able access more than 64kb is NOT advanced architecture except for the
8008 mind set.Ben.
