Just found something interesting worth reading.

http://www.righto.com/2022/11/a-bug-fix-in-80 … oprocessor.html

If I understand correctly, early 808x processors from 1978 are/were affected by the bug.

There was an article at hackaday.com, roughly a week ago, too.

Best regards,

PS: I really wonder whether or not already produced, buggy 808x were still being sold by intel when the fix was applied to the design?

I mean, it's intel.. They sold buggy 80386 CPUs with a "16-Bit S/W only" marking..
