Sigh. Again, the difference is between how OPERANDS were formatted vs. INSTRUCTIONS. As I said, I agree that lots of machines had variable length operands (including a couple at the bit level, which the 1400 series did not do except for an individual character). But darn few had variable length INSTRUCTIONS, things like operand address chaining, and the like.
You mean, like the iA432?
