I really can&#x27;t work out what the designers are thinking. If you want to learn low-level PC hacking, use QEMU. If you want to do your low-level PC hacking on an actual 80386 machine, go to the PC recycler, and if they still have anything that ancient around they will probably just give it to you for free, to be rid of it. Or you can spend $5 and get some Pentium class machine instead. And if you want to get into embedded development, for god&#x27;s sake don&#x27;t waste your time on all the byzantine cruft in the PC architecture - go get an Arduino or a Raspberry Pi or even some Cortex-M3 dev board. I don&#x27;t see what&#x27;s left for this project.
