CSS, Now it’s got Your 8086.

The modern web browser is now far more than a thing for rendering web pages, it’s a multi-faceted environment that can provide a home for almost any application you could imagine. But why should JavaScript or Wasm have all the fun? CSS is Turing complete now, right? Why not, as [Lyra Rebane] has done, write an 8086 emulator in pure CSS?

The Inner Workings Of The Intel 8086’s Arithmetic Logic Unit

In the 1970s CPUs still had wildly different approaches to basic features, with the Intel 8086 being one of them. Whereas the 6502 used separate circuits for operations, and the Intel 8085 a clump …

The #pasmo assembler has this really neat feature where it'll accept #z80 opcodes and then do its best to emit equivalent #Intel8086 instructions. Effectively, this is the "assembly-level" forward compatibility that Intel advertised for migrating code from 8080 to 8086.

It certainly isn't perfect - a few instructions are unimplemented and have to be manually fixed, and I'm not sure I've caught all the subtle bugs where flags behave differently ... but, here's Palo Alto TinyBasic running on #MartyPC under DOS, in only a few hours work!

Un día como hoy, 8 junio 1978, nació el Intel 8086. Este chip de 16 bits permitió 1MB de RAM. Su hermano 8088 fue el cerebro del IBM PC, que cambió la historia de la computación para siempre #retrocomputingmx #Intel8086 #x86 #ibmpc #microprocesadores #HistoriaTech

Sean Haas of @adventofcomputing has a fascinating episode out about #IDRIS, a reimplementation of #UNIX for a variety of early personal computers with #Intel8086, #Motorola68000 CPUs as well as #DEC #PDP11. Bizarrely, the OS seems mostly lost.

A version of IDRIS that starts from #DOS is available on GitHub, though!
