Do what i already do daily now. Keep on programming Microchip dspic33<x> :-) It is a segmented 16-bit Harvard architecture.

Anyway, the whole scenario is so absurd and with so many variables, that an answer to a 16-bit x86 only world would be likewise absurd.

Either some production capacity is saved, or Einstein was right and the WW IV will be fought with sticks and stones.

But suddenly an architecture that is convoluted and not in active production is resurrected again ? Nonsense.

More likely the ability to bring new designs in production is damaged, and they can only keep the production setup they have now. ..... non of which are 16-bit only x86.
