Don't try and depend on the byte order, though (it's big-endian), don't depend on auto-increment and auto-decrement addressing modes (they only work on the stack pointer), and don't depend on instructions like MOVC5 (we have NUL-terminated string instructions) or CRC16 (we don't have it). Besides, the CPU is only 5 boards, not 27 or so... Guy Harris {seismo,ihnp4,allegra}!rlgvax!guy
