What about supporting 286 protected mode in a manner that more than one
text+data segment per program are possible - still far-pointers were to be
implmented, but would segment switching not be easier with HW-protection (in
comparison to 8086)? I am not familiar with compiler programming, so I
have no idea of how much work it would be.
The last time I looked into the elks sources there was code for initializing
286 protected mode - don't know if it works.
