Ah, the AT&T 3B2. I learned heavy-duty assembly language programming on the WE32000, that was a really nice processor. Shame it never took off in the era of 80286 and 68000...
Perhaps time has fogged your memory :-) That was a horrible processor. :-)
Heh, maybe you're right. It was the first true 32-bit iron I got to use (halfword address exceptions! woo!), and it also had strcpy() built into a single opcode. I thought that was pretty cool...for 1986....
It was, especially, the jump and slide problem. The WE32100 and WE32200 rocked.
