Octal makes sense for the PDP11 since the instruction format is divided into 3-bit fields (operand modes, register specifiers, etc).
Hex makes sense for the VAX since the instruction format is divided into 4-bit fields (operand modes, register specifiers, etc). _______________________________________________ Simh mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.trailing-edge.com/mailman/listinfo/simh
