And discovered you could disable cache writeback to have a region of fast RAM without bus contention, and ways to use the hidden 9th bit in each byte which is only usd by certain graphics framebuffer operations. I don't think he uses either one in serious code, but if he did, good luck emulating it. | ||||||||
