When I was researching the mess related to strange and poorly documented CPUID bits in the Athlon MP and XP processors, I had to swap a lot of CPUs. This was uneventful in most cases but only most. When I Continue reading

## [Win16 Memory Management](http://www.os2museum.com/wp/win16-memory-management/)

_2026-06-05 · Michal Necasek · OS/2 Museum_

This is a kind of knowledge base article which resulted from attempts to understand exactly how memory management works in 16-bit Windows. It is not exactly undocumented, but it is also not well documented; even before Windows 3.0 appeared, the Continue reading

## [Learn Something Old Every Day, Part XXI: VGA Memory Access Is Complicated](http://www.os2museum.com/wp/learn-something-old-every-day-part-xxi-vga-memory-access-is-complicated/)

_2026-05-08 · Michal Necasek · OS/2 Museum_

Last week I had another run-in with VGA emulation, and like last time, the cause was very likely the generally woefully inadequate VGA documentation. The VGA is not, all things considered, a particularly complicated piece of hardware. It has no Continue reading

Not too long ago I had a need and an opportunity to re-acquaint myself with the mechanism used for software emulation of the 8087 FPU on 8086/8088 machines. As mentioned elsewhere, the 8086 CPU (1978) had a generic co-processor interface Continue reading

_2026-02-27 · Michal Necasek · OS/2 Museum_

The memory management in DOS is simple, but that simplicity may be deceptive. There are several rather interesting pitfalls that programming documentation often does not mention. DOS 1.x (1981) had no explicit memory management support. It was designed to run Continue reading
