"bus error" is a signal inheritted from someone's minicomputer (DEC
maybe?).


More common on 68000-based machines, but stemming from certain
instructions needing their operands to be word-aligned. If the operand
wasn't properly aligned, it caused a bus fetch error.

so CS, CDS, and odd address* in the PSW and a few other instructions
could do it legitimately. Not that that precludes executing junk.
