Super cool :)

Has all this analysis of the die shot ever led to the discovery of novel bugs in the 8086?

I started building an emulator for the 8080 after my dad telling me the IMSAI 8080 (IMSAI something at least) was the first computer he had and the 8080 was the first chip he wrote code for professionally.

He would have been in his mid-to-late-20s at the time, about the same age I was building this emulator.

I remember proudly showing him my progress, but he said "how is that gonna make you money?" Heh. He's not as sentimental as I am.
