   you miss my point, i have a 80286 in my gvp amiga harddisk controller, so i   
   could use msdos, or maybe linux for 16 bit arch :)

   for real user no, but api in 64bit kernels does not anymore emulate 32bit api,   
   so in pratics not possible to run 32bit elf code anymore, 64bit will not see   
   any change on it

   my 80286 in my gvp harddisk used amiga memory for the highmem part, std the   
   card have 512kb on its own card, i woundered still today why it have not   
   1024kb, so it would be equal cool like a commodore 128 with reu 1750 ram   
   expender :=)   
      
   gentoo gcc needs 4Gb ram to compile now, with 1Gb it does not work   
      
    MK> Those were the days my friend.   
      
   8bit and 16bit hardware boards still lives on self made boards on facebook, i   
   wonder why ?
