 		 #160375 - Why would anyone use THAT architecture?
Responding to: ???'s previous message
The old segmented 8088/86/80186/88??? ... EEEEEKK!!!

For much less money and trouble, there's a range of ARM CPU's that have a 32-bit address bus and a 32-bit data bus, and run much faster than the 8086-types. Some of them have built-in SDRAM channels allowing you to put on 16 MB of SDRAM for about the cost of a 32Kx8 SRAM.

They often have built-in Ethernet MAC's and other "handy" features. Check the literature!

Need bigger RAM            01/01/70 00:00      
   find out here            01/01/70 00:00      
   MCS-51 is the best            01/01/70 00:00      
      Not for BIG RAM!            01/01/70 00:00      
         why not?            01/01/70 00:00      
            Disagree            01/01/70 00:00      
            Address range does matter            01/01/70 00:00      
               still, why not            01/01/70 00:00      
                  while I agree with Per, here is a nugget for Jan            01/01/70 00:00      
                     Large data:: Yes, large RAM: Watch out            01/01/70 00:00      
                     particular application of OP, not yours, matters            01/01/70 00:00      
                        And the best is...            01/01/70 00:00      
                        but added complexity equals likely more buggy            01/01/70 00:00      
                  "best" is the key.            01/01/70 00:00      
                  Addressing modes do matter            01/01/70 00:00      
               Why would anyone use THAT architecture?            01/01/70 00:00      
                  Helps to check context before reacting            01/01/70 00:00      
                     It is the architecture and not the brand            01/01/70 00:00      
                        Sorry if unclear            01/01/70 00:00      
            Quick PC history            01/01/70 00:00      
               engineering insight            01/01/70 00:00      
                  What was your point?            01/01/70 00:00      
            Possible to 16Mbyte            01/01/70 00:00      
      I use MCS51            01/01/70 00:00      
         So why didn't you say that in the first place?            01/01/70 00:00      
            The universal truth again            01/01/70 00:00      
               64kB RAM?            01/01/70 00:00      
                  Both            01/01/70 00:00      
                     don't be deceived by Keil's database            01/01/70 00:00      
                        Good to know            01/01/70 00:00      
         '51 vs '52            01/01/70 00:00      
         even with AT89C2051 can be done            01/01/70 00:00      
   ... and the BIGGEST is...            01/01/70 00:00      
      Is that RAM on-chip?            01/01/70 00:00      
      Maybe biggest, but BEST?            01/01/70 00:00
