04:57 <devyn> @_@

06:02 <whitequark> devyn: wait until you learn about A20

06:03 <devyn> yep I know a bit about it

06:05 <devyn> lol keyboard controller to disable memory wrapping

06:05 <purr> lol

06:06 <devyn> and the historical reason is that some older programs abused the wraparound "feature"...

06:06 <devyn> who the hell would think "hey, memory overflow leads to wraparound, I should use that"

06:06 <whitequark> yeah.

06:06 <whitequark> well, it's a little bit of free memory

06:07 <devyn> which you can't just address normally on the 8086?

07:27 <whitequark> devyn: oh right, HMA was when A20 was enabled
