What about MIPS chips ? I hear they are pretty popular. And what about custom FPGA chips ? I am not an Elec... engineer, but I am interested as to what kind of operating systems do custom FPGA chips run ? regards, Vikas On 8/1/06, Alan Cox wrote: > Ar Maw, 2006-08-01 am 01:27 -0400, ysgrifennodd Jody Bruchon: > > On top of that, the 8088 isn't really even used in embedded stuff > > anymore AFAIK.
