%X During the last decade a number of microprocessors appeared
   on the market with operating system mechanisms designed into
   the firmware e.g. the Intel 80286 which supports segmented
   memory management and the 80386 supporting segmentation and
   paging. The idea was very attractive as protection amongst
   users could be enforced by the hardware. The support of
   multi\-users on one processor implied the conventional
   strategy of sharing the scarce processor resource amongst
   more than one user. The limitations in processing power of
   microprocessors did however limit their multi\-user
   exploitation.
