Přímo odstavec, kde Stan Mazor říká, že little endian byl omyl :-)

SM: Well, one that's kind of interesting is this Little Indian, Big Indian thing. It's turned out that when I was at Intel, I defined the 8008 instruction set and the 8008 addressing modes and I did it in a strange way which we ended up calling Little Indian, which means the low address comes first. And I did that because the DataPoint machine was bit serial and I was trying to do something compatible for them, although I knew it was backwards at the time. Well, as it turned out, they never used any so that by making the Little Indian first was kind of a mistake. And the Intel 8080 and 8086 also were then Little Indian. So we have something in the industry where the Intel way has been more or less the wrong way and we did it for the wrong reason. And that's one of the…
RW: And you're responsible.
SM: And I'm the guy that did it and it was my mistake.
