Subject: Re: RFC: outb 0x80 in inb_p, outb_p harmful on some modern AMD64 with MCP51 laptops
Date: Tue, 11 Dec 2007 16:03:14 -0500 [thread overview]

Dick - I didn't work for Don in Boca. I did know him, having met with
him several times when he was still alive. I worked from 1979-1985 as a
consultant and eventually VP R&D, at Software Arts in Cambridge, MA, and
there was a machine we developed the first IBM Visicalc for, in a locked
room which required NDA sign-in, with a list of authorized employees and
consultants. The machine was a plywood board. It was not a 5150, yet.
Note that I did not say I worked in Boca. Funny thing to twist my
comments into that assertion.
Note: I am not trying to say that I know everything about the history of
PC-compatibles, nor am I trying to prove some kind of macho thing. But
I do happen to have a lot of practical experience in this space.
In particular, I am trying to contribute to Linux to make it better.
Largely because I think you guys are doing a great thing, and as a user
of it, I think it's a good thing to give back.
