I suppose it's a religious issue, but I have always preferred Motorola-style (MOS, Microchip), instruction sets (more orthogonal) and mnemonics to Intel-style ones (Atmel). It makes more sense (at least in English) to say "put the bread on the table," than "put on the table the bread." And don't get me started about linear addressing and memory I/O (Motorola) vs. butt-ugly segmented addressing (Intel). _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
