We do want a a healthy percentage of failures, of course. Knowing when to fail a protection check is probably more important than knowing when to pass one. I'll probably aim for 50% protection check pass/fail. I don't know. I pull this stuff out of my butt.
Once we have the technique down, it's going to be fairly trivial to extend it to finally make 386 protected-mode tests, which will make everyone very happy

If you'd like to learn more about controlling Intel CPUs with Arduinos, you can watch my talk at VCF Midwest 2025. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m_C7i44-yPE It's kind of crazy that you can do this sort of thing without an FPGA. You really should use an FPGA, but hey.
