The byte size instructions and addresses were expressed in octal, so the eight bit RST7 was 377 as compared to FF in hex. This was the early 8080 from Intel as used on the Altair computer. Intel later switched to hex.
> PDP-11 or something like that, I take it? Whoops - of course not. You'd already said it was an Intel chip. The "octal" part had me confused; I'd never heard of an Intel CPU that had a 12-bit word. You may well be mistaken about that. Intersil, possibly?
