Yeah. I've got some round here: they're in the early Macs. I've also got
a newer version of it (SMT) inside a JTEC terminal controller. It's a
single-board computer, the sort of thing we'd have mortgaged our home for
in the early 70s.

The Zilog Z8000 was another big-endian CPU. A shame, I think, that IBM
didn't use it instead of the 808x. My brain is definitely big-endian,
and MASM confused things even worse by printing its bject code in
"human-friendly" big-endian format with the result the object code
printed was not what was actually generate.
