I'm not sure what "While REGISTER 3 settles" means. Even on a pipelined machine register settings appear to be synchronous; the only reason that a prorammer needs to take pipelines into account is for performance, and hand optimization can do the opposite of what you wanted when you move to a new processor.

You misunderstood: "While R3 settles" meant "While REGISTER 3 settles". That's why I mentioned S/360, back when such things actually mattered.
