I don't know much about the 6502. The Z80 had some 16 bit operations that were little endian. Does the 6502 not have any 16 bit operations?
Even if you have not native 16 bit operations you might need to work with data from other systems. -----Original Message----- From: Adam Thornton [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, August 06, 2003 10:03 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: big and little endian On Wed, 2003-08-06 at 11:44, Wolfe, Gordon W wrote: > Ah, yes, but when you look at a NUMBER, whether it be base-2, base-10 or base-16, > you tend to look at it with the MOST significant digit on the LEFT.
