Are we talking about the old 8-bit processors as well, or are we just talking about the "new" processors. (Define it for your self :-) If we are talking about those 8-bitters then the MOSTEK-6502 does not contain dividing or multiplication instructions. And if memory serves me right, neither did the Z-80. Now, one question: does the ARM chip in Acorn Archimedes include multiply and/or divide instructions. To quote Alfred E. Neuman: "What!
