But this is designed to run x86 code, something which is very much appreciated for those of us who work with such things. I am thinking of looking for some of the old ASM work I did some time ago and playing with this thing to see how it handles those files. Something to while away the time on a rainy day or several. :)
My first asm work was on the old 6502 .... I loved writing asm for that old CPU.
It's almost as much fun writing asm for the cheap Atmel 8bit microcontrollers.... I like the Attiny84. It's a one dollar, through hole chip that is essentially a complete computer running at 20MIPS....FUN stuff ... it's like an old 8bit computer from the late 70's but you have it all in a single cheap part :-)
All the software tools and a super nice GCC C compiler are free! You can get a USB programming dongle for less than 3$ on ebay.
So many project ideas...so little time!
