Hi Ken,

Nice article. While reading I remembered that I watched some time ago the Oral History of Gary Davidian and he was quite bit involved with microcoding. And if I were you I would try asking him if he could be able to give you some ideas where to get more information about microcode workings and development.

Here are links to that interview, if you have time to watch it. It's in two parts.

Cheers,

:-) riku

This is the Gary Davidian of the Classic MacOS PPC nanokernel, no? I wish I've had as much fun work as he's had in his career.
