I understand
My plan is to be able to recompile for different CPUs based in conditional compilation (Run time descisions would slow the system down of course
).
For me it's very important to support the widest range of systems possible.
But I can understand Tim's descision not to support the 386, as you hardly see any 386s any more and there are Hardly any NexGen Nx586s compaired to 486s out there (Which is a shame IMHO). But saying that, it was a bit foolhardy not to update the design for the Nx586 in incorperate new insructions, it kind of sealed it's own coffin (that and the proprietry motherboard).
Would it be possible, Tim, if you could state The Mobius's Minimum System Requirements on your website? This would stop questions like mine in their tracks!
So CPU wise, I'm guessing, it would be a minimum of a 486SX 20MHz.
BTW, your website is littered with i386 statements, just changing these to i486 would help.
Anyway, I'll test it later with my 486DLC when I get it (It's comming from Russia), that is suppose to support the 486 instruction set and runs on a 386 board (with BIOS support).
Thanks
