#132694 - The reason for 2 ALE cycles
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Richard said
I don't know why Intel had to put out two ALE cycles per code-space access ...

Intel needed to fetch the second byte of the operand before the first one was decoded, just in case the opcode had two bytes. If it turned out that the opcode was a single byte, then the second fetch was ignored.
