gloriouscow<p>V20 8080 emulation mode is working!</p><p>I've got to say the disassembly context switching is cool but incredibly confusing to try to follow. I may need a manual dropdown to select between architectures.

You could open up system functions in the editor, modify and compile them while the machine was running.

Silicon Underground (Dave F)<p>On May 14, 1992, Texas Instruments signed an agreement that allowed them to create 486 CPUs based on Cyrix's technology. The most interesting of these is the 486SXL, which plugs into a 386 socket and is the fastest CPU ever made for that socket. <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/Retrocomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Retrocomputing</span></a> <a href="https://dfarq.homeip.net/texas-instruments-486sxl-cpu/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">dfarq.homeip.net/texas-instrum</span><span class="invisible">ents-486sxl-cpu/</span></a></p>
