Cyrix lived on with VIA but apparently Microsoft recently brain drained them

i'd like to write a hobby unix-like for a 286 it's pretty weird in how it does things like virtual memory and memory protection IIRC

I thought 386 was a bit of a watershed moment because it introduced protected memory and before then your processor was the wild west and anything could walk all over anything else which is good. peek and poke are a lost art
