yeah, thats the one. ok, copying it down.
the 8080 and 8086 were both 16bit registers (I guess that means 16bit
internals), but intel had to make the 8080 for IBM because they wanted a
8bit interface. I always thought dos 2.x was 16bit, but not sure.

Not sure the 4-bit part is accurate - i thought the 8080 and 8086 were both
16-bit processors, but the 8080 had an 8-bit FSB.
