    SubjectRe: RFC: outb 0x80 in inb_p, outb_p harmful on some modern AMD64 with MCP51 laptops
    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.
