Let's see, aside from numerals 0-9 each tube would have the capital letters A through F, a decimal point and a comma, and a dollar sign. The latter would be used as a prefix before the most-significant digit. For example, in 8 bit (byte) mode "123456789.123" would display as "$07,5B,CD,15.1F,7C,ED,91,68,72,B0,20,C4,9C" 32 bit mode would be "$075BCD15.1F7CED91,6872B020,C49C" Hmm. Hard to read. Perhaps a special comma-like thingy would make it easier to see the individual bytes. Suggestions welcome.
