>> oh, don't tell this to Henry Spencer...the 32032 only has 8 general >> purpose registers. I guess lots of registers just isn't elegant. >Actually, I like lots of registers. But when I say "lots", I mean LOTS. >If the register count doesn't have a "K" on the end, forget it. > Henry Spencer @ U of Toronto Zoology Speaking of which, you should see this new product announcement from the "big I" that a salesman just dropped on my desk.... You wouldn't believe all those registers could be in that little chip, would you??? Of course something had to go to make room, so all math operations now use table look-up. (Said with jest, while I sit here waiting for the 1986 vaporware contest entries to arrive). Since the year is closing out, how about some nominations for the vaporware of the year contest (1985)????? Big Mac
