| Jun 15, 2019 at 9:30 | comment | added | Raffzahn | @StephenKitt After a bit rereading, I no longer see it as a duplicate, as the liked question is specific about undocumented opcodes and their usage in relation to documentes, while this is strictly about the 8086 and its handling. | |

| Jun 15, 2019 at 8:58 | comment | added | Raffzahn | I just got it this for close review, and I have a hard time to decide. For one, it does tackle the issue for a specific CPU, while the other is more generic. But Stephen is as well right, both may trigger the same answers. But not due the way this one if phrased, but rather because the other is way to broad. Marking it as double would be good to target future readers toward the already given answers - better than copying. But then again, asking exactly for the 8086 is a question in its own right. No idea for a middle way, I vote leave open - maybe to incooperate the link into the question. | |

| Jun 11, 2019 at 17:45 | comment | added | wizzwizz4♦ | @StephenKitt Could you write up a Retrocomputing Meta question? You have a very good point, and I have a slightly-less-good rebuttal, but we really need to decide on this as a community. | |
| Jun 11, 2019 at 17:31 | comment | added | wizzwizz4♦ | @StephenKitt I'd err on the side of not closing it if the questions themselves aren't identical; it's possible that there are answers to this one that wouldn't be answers to the others, and I know for sure that the other way around also applies. | |
