Blogger Uses Gemini To Build 8086 Cradle

Japanese tech blogger Ikejima recently used Google's Gemini to design and implement a 'cradle' — a minimal motherboard — for an NEC V30 (μPD70116) x86-compatible CPU, using a Raspberry Pi Pico RP2040 for control. Gemini produced an assembler, disassembler and circuit suggestions but missed hardware-specific issues (address/data multiplexing, even/odd RAM), forcing manual debugging to boot HI-DOS and run a limited MS-DOS COMMAND.COM instance.
