Since I have a copy of "Programming the Z8000" by Richard Mateosian close at hand, I can tell you that the Z8000 has 16x16 -> 32 and 32x32 -> 64 bit multiplies and the corresponding divides. I believe that the Z80000 will have all the combinations you might want. (Perhaps I should say "has" rather than "will have", since I saw a Z80000 wafer at NCC.) -- Richard Mateosian {cbosgd,fortune,hplabs,ihnp4,seismo}!nsc!srm nsc!srm@decwrl.ARPA
