This irqs me
The thing that bothers me the most here is that the meme is using 64bit assembly instructions, which did not exist at the time keyboards were using IRQs to communicate. 🤣
Did they upgrade PS/2 to use something other than interrupts? Because my earliest 64-bit CPU was in a computer manufactured in the early 00s and I'm pretty sure that mobo still had actual PS/2 ports, not USB converters or something.
I stand corrected then, thank you! I forgot about Opteron and Athlon (I was an Intel devotee at the time, my AMD phase happened much earlier with the 486 DX2 and DX4).
Cheers!
