Hi Jeremy,
        not that I'm the moderator or nothing but, this echo is dedicated
to the discussion of assembly language programming on the Intel "style"
series of microprocessors.
        Such processors include the 8088, 8086, 80186, 80188, 80286,
80386sx-dx-dx2-dx4, etc etc... To cover the processor types the
echo was named 80XXX as 80??? is not an allowed name for all mail
tossers...
        As such, discussions on the "XXX" level will likely meet
an unfriendly response or ignored all together. Unless you can
see a way to have "XXX" with a microprocessor. In which case you'll
have to ask the moderator about that one...
Glen...
