CRAP !!!
since it is a child of the XT/AT286 it still got the bugs of the
stupide IBM-Ingeneures, (i.e interrupt-level-extension )
visionless Intel-Ingeneures (just compare 80286 with 68000 ...)
So we can say :
A PC is a useable hammer with an extrem week handle.
The only way to get the best out of the handle is LINUX!
