"It is NOT protable (uses 386 task switching etc), and it probably never will support anything other than AT-harddisks, as that’s all I have :-(."
That's cute. Happy 32nd birthday to Linux! 🎉🎂🎈🍾🥂

@dosnostalgic Cute, but not likely to go anywhere since the future is RISC. I've got my eye on the platforms of tomorrow, like the DEC Alpha coming out soon!

@indigoparadox @dosnostalgic RISC architecture is gonna change everything.

@steve @indigoparadox @dosnostalgic It already is changing a lot.

My soldering iron (Pinecil v1) has a RISC-V core, and i really wanted to try the 0x64 devboard (4$ RV64I heterogeneous devboard with a LOT of stuff) but the toolchain is kinda bad last time i checked.

I'd love to have rust running on it
